The preceding lines usually help in diagnosis. However, whenever I see that error it's because my calculation has exceeded the maximum number of Berny steps without converging the geometry. So first check to see if that's the case. If it is, you need to distinguish between lack of convergence because of insufficient steps, lack of convergence because the structure is oscillating between two (or more) equivalent geometries on a shallow potential, or whether the geometry is diverging. A graphical user interface can be useful in visualizing the progress of the optimization. If the former is the case, just restart the calculation with additional berny steps. If the middle is the case, you can reduce the stepsize or try other tricks to force the structure down to the bottom of the well. If the latter is the case, make sure your initial geometry was physically reasonable and try again with a different starting geometry.
