First of all I'll suggest to use DIIS instead of SOSCF. Try this:

$scf fdiff=.false. diis=.t. soscf=.f. $end
$contrl inttyp=HONDO icut=11 itol=30  $end

Hope this helps.
Unfortunately, there's not enough information about what are you trying to do and what exactly happens to your system.

Kind regards,
Pavel

P.S. Consider using $scf dirscf=.t. $end unless you have reasons to perform conventional calculations instead of direct.

>>>Dear all,
>>>I have a problem with optimizing the organic moiety which is have around 50 atoms in B3LYP1 level of calculation. I have optimized it in RHF/631G** and also MP2/631G** level, but the B3LYP1 level i cant able to run it.
