Dear all,

I am trying to perform HSE calculations for a transition metal dichalcogenide 
system. When the first scf run finishes, the code crashes with an error:

Error in routine ZPOTRF (1):
     Cholesky failed in invchol.
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     stopping ...

I have tried decreasing/increasing the KPOINTS sampling, reducing the ecutwfc, 
turning off symmetries but in vain. Nothing worked.

I have tried performing the calculations on the simple 'Si' system, and they 
went perfectly well.

Any hint of how to overcome this error?

Regards
