Hallo,
You can try to follow the strategies suggested here: Troubleshooting electronic convergence.
If this does not help, I would suggest to upgrade to the latest version and see if the error persists. There have been many improvements since VASP 5.4.4. If you still have troubles, please don't hesitate to reach out!
