positive energy with HSE calculation on metal slab

I want to try FeOH2/Pt slab with HSE calculation. I was successful with FeOH2 bulk and Pt slab alone with HSE calculation. However, using a similar INCAR with success Pt slab calculations didn't work for FeOH2/Pt slab. The FeOH2/Pt HSE calculations gives large positive energy (~100,000 eV) and keep increasing at each electronic loop calculation. The structure of FeOH2/Pt was firstly optimized with GGA-PBE and the CHGCAR is saved. The system has 16 Pt, 12 O, 6 Fe and 12 H atoms. I started HSE calculation with the CHGCAR from GGA-PBE and this is my INCAR. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for a solution of positive energy.
Thanks!
