Cu doped ZnOnws can not converge

Dear all,
I calculated undoped ZnOnws successfully, but it can not work in single copper doped Zn48O48nws with the same structure. I'm confused. It just jump between E-1 and E-2. paw_pbe and KPOINTS 1*1*9, follow the INCAR:

SYSTEM = Cu-doped ZnO
ISTART = 0
ICHARG = 2

ENCUT = 500

NELMIN = 8
NELMDL = -8

NSW = 300
IBRION = 1
NFREE = 10
ISIF = 2
#ENAUG = 1
ADDGRID = .TRUE.
EDIFFG = -0.01

AMIX = 0.2
BMIX = 0.0001
MAXMIX = 80
NSIM =4

ISMEAR = 0
SIGMA = 0.05

GGA = PE
#VOSKOWN = 1
LREAL = .TRUE.
ALGO = Normal

NWRITE = 1
LWAVE = .FALSE.

what's wrong with my INCAR? Or something I forget. my first time calculate things with 3d transition metal. thanks!!!
merry Christmas :)

can you post your output (OSZICAR)
