Thanks a lot for your answers.

I ran it with

    -ksp_type gmres -pc_type hypre -pc_hypre_type euclid

and it worked very well. Thanks.

I then tried to use boomeramg as a preconditioner coupled with 
Richardson but I was not successful, it failed to solve the system and 
returned nans.

    -ksp_type richardson -pc_type hypre -pc_hypre_type boomeramg
    -pc_hypre_boomeramg_relax_type_all SOR/Jacobi
    -pc_hypre_boomeramg_print_debug -ksp_view -ksp_monitor_true_residual

and i got the following

Do you guys have any suggestion?  Is it possible that I am haven't 
initialized boomeramg properly? Or it is just my system equations that 
can not be solved by AMG?

Sincerely,
Dario
