Hi All,
When i use the latest vasp version 5.3.5, i face the error "Error EDDDAV: Call to ZHEGV failed. Returncode = 29 2 56" at the start of the run and hence job finish automatically due to this error. This error originate for all jobs (systems) runing on vasp version 5.3.5. While. when i use other version of vasp like 5.2.11 using the same input files , the job run smoothly without the mentioned error. I made many attempts through google to find the solution of such like error but did not find any satisfactory solution. I need your valuable comments in order to solve this problem.
Not sure, if this has been solved. I had similar issue and tried a bunch of ways suggested (over different forums) and none of them worked. Lately, I realized that I wasn't using the recommended paw potential. Switching over to the recommended potential solved the problem.
SK M yes, you are right. We use recommended PAW potential.
There could be a bunch of reasons behind this.
Just changing the PAW potential solved the issue in my case.
The attached link might be useful.
