MD run

I am trying to do a MD run to anneal I always get the this type of warning frequently. I don't understand what is this and why does it occur.

Information: wavefunction orthogonal band 152 0.7367

although the run does not stop in between.

reading through the previous posts I tried to play around with POTIM but at some point of time I get this warning. I changed POTIM from 10 to .5 but all in vain. please help.

I am attaching my INCAR file below
LREAL = .TRUE
ALGO = V
MAXMIX = 40
IBRION = 0
NSW = 500
NBLOCK = 5
POTIM = 10
TEEND = 310
!TEBEG = 300
ISYM = 0
SMASS = -1
LCHARG = .FALSE
NELMIN = 4
PREC = LOW
ISTART = 0
ISMEAR = 0 ! Gaussian Smearing
SIGMA = .1 ! Width of smearing
NPAR = 8

Also Is this the right way to anneal a geometry after obtaining it using CG using PSTRESS? beacuse I want to anneal the geometry under pressure to certain temperature.

first of all please check if the ionic configurations during the relaxation run are reasonable. If they are, please try if it helps to set to set IWAVPR=11
