I don't know, what system you are calculating.
It must be very large ?

It looks the matrix is truncated at 14000 APWs, what is the "effective" 
RKMAX ?
Did your scf-cycle converge properly ? No warnings in :ENE ???

You are looking into case.output1_*  ??? This comes from a k-point 
parallel calculation.    x lapw1 -c -band does NOT produce such a file, 
you would need to add a -p switch. (Then of course also for x spaghetti -p)

It seems you have only very few (negative) eigenvalues. Do you see more 
eigenvalues in case.scf ??? Is this small molecule in a very big box ??

Is NUME very small ?? (siteconfig, dimensions )
