Severe Error Temperature out of bounds

I am getting the following error:

   ** Severe  ** Temperature (high) out of bounds (200.28] for zone="00.7.CAFE", for surface="SURFACE 604"
   **   ~~~   **  During Warmup, Environment=GENEVA ANN CLG .4% CONDNS DB=>MWB, at Simulation time=07/21 08:30 - 08:35
   **   ~~~   ** Zone="00.7.CAFE", Diagnostic Details:
   **   ~~~   ** ...Internal Heat Gain [117.696] W/m2
   **   ~~~   ** ...Infiltration/Ventilation [1.670E-002] m3/s
   **   ~~~   ** ...Mixing/Cross Mixing [0.000] m3/s
   **   ~~~   ** ...Zone is part of HVAC controlled system.
   **  Fatal  ** CalcHeatBalanceInsideSurf: Program terminates due to preceding conditions.

and then these suggestions:

   ************* ===== Final Error Summary =====
   ************* The following error categories occurred.  Consider correcting or noting.
   ************* Temperature (high) out of bounds
   ************* ..A temperature out of bounds problem can be caused by several things. The user should check:
   ************* ..1) the weather environment (including the horizontal IR from sky)
   ************* ..2) the level of interal gains with respect to the zone
   ************* ..3) the thermal properties of their materials.  And other things.
   ************* ..A common cause is a building with no or little thermal mass - all materials with Material:NoMassdefinitions.

However, I have tried each of these suggestions and nothing is working. I have a LEED baseline model running for this building with a standard VAV reheat system. For the proposed case model with the error, I have put the exact same geometry, constructions and internal loads in as well as plant loop. The difference is I have radiant ceilings and a DOAS. I have modelled this system multiple times without error but for some reason this time there is something wrong. Can anyone suggest where I should look for possible solutions.

As always thanks in advance for the help. Annie
