Out of memory. You need to be careful when doing these calculations - e.g. check your k-point sampling. You can also limit the number of repetitions. See tutorial! Or, my suggestion: use a classical potential, you'll get pretty good results in no time, compared to waiting very (very!) long time for DFT.
