Are you using the CTF solving method? Try decrease the time step to 1 min (i.e. 60 per hour). Check the thermal diffusivity of each layer in the construction does not fall outside the limits.
ÂHi all ,
I have the following sevre error appearing :
________________________________________________
Temperature (high) out of bounds (200.15] for zone="ZONE ONE", for surface="ZN001:CEILING"
  **  ~~~  **  During Warmup, Environment=ALEX_DESIGN_DAY HVAC Sizing Pass 1, at Simulation time=06/03 08:10 - 08:11
  **  ~~~  ** Zone="ZONE ONE", Diagnostic Details:
  **  ~~~  ** ...Internal Heat Gain [92.354] W/m2
  **  ~~~  ** ...Infiltration/Ventilation [1.320] m3/s
  **  ~~~  ** ...Mixing/Cross Mixing [0.000] m3/s
  **  ~~~  ** ...Zone is part of HVAC controlled system.
  **  Fatal  ** CalcHeatBalanceInsideSurf: Program terminates due to preceding conditions.
________________________________________________
I've modified warm up days to 365 days , changed all no mass materials to materials having mass and even tried decreasing internal loads to 0.001 watt and still this error appears .
How can I solve this issue ?
