Nobody can help you for this specific case without running it themself, 
and all "general guidlines" were given.

There are always some cases, where it could be difficult to reach better 
convergence.

Eventually a better k-mesh or larger TEMP parameter can help.

Are other quantities converged and STABLE (:ENE :MMT :MMI, :FER ?)
