This is a common error which has an easy fix. You will need to specify the MaxCycle in the route of the input file: SCF=(MaxCycle=N). N is actually the number of steps per SCF cycles. It is also recommended to turn on DIIS. To turn on the option, select HELP and search for this keyword. You will find additional information on how to enable the option as well as other related information.
