I wasn't getting any errors with my two story home (with a basement) until I tried simulating it with the heat balance algorithm: finite difference method (it works with the conduction transfer function). Then it started giving me this error which I believe pertains to the way I defined heat transfer from the basement walls/floor and the surrounding ground but am unsure how to fix the temperatures of the ground?

This is the full description of the error:

**  Severe  ** * Site:GroundDomain:BasementDoEndOfIterationOperations: Out of range temperatures detected in the ground domain.
**    *   ~~~   ** * This could be due to the size of the loads on the domain.
**    *   ~~~   ** * Verify inputs are correct. If problem persists, notify EnergyPlus support.
**    *  Fatal  ** Preceding error(s) cause program termination

Thanks kindly!
