Perform analysis versus P-Delta and Direct Analysis

I'm having issues with the different methods of analysis', I can get results for Perform Analysis but when I try to switch to P-Delta and Direct Analysis I get warnings about instabilities and error codes in the output such as 1.#INF, 1.#IND and 1.#QNAN.  There are both moment connections, pinned connections and pinned connections with springs to overcome tempurature forces.  All load combinations that this effects has to do with the following load cases:

7. TL (temperature load)

10 WL1(+Z)

11. WL1(-Z)

14. WL2(+Z)

15. WL2(-Z)

16. WIL2(+Z)

These load cases appear to be what is giving me trouble.  Any help would be great.
