Solving problem

Hi,
Comsol can slove my model for time 5 seconds, but can not solve for 10 s. At onether time, Comsol solves the same model for time 10s, but does not solve for 15s or 20s. I can not understand why comsol does this? I have tried different mesh denses and mesh types. However, the best mesh type is default type (triangular advancing front). I see that the convergence is always increasing when I increase the time period to solve. It (convergence) starts to decrease first, everything goes good. But after some time, the convergence increases continuously and this implies that soln. will not be reached and an error message will come. The error may sometimes becomes "out of memory LU factorization", sometimes singularity or sometimes "last step size is not converged". Some BCs are function of dependent variables of physics. I checked my BCs and ICs again and again but I could not find the problem.
