failed to converge, pspice

Hi,
I am trying to simulate 555 in pspice.But disappointing I am getting an error like thius

Wt i shuld do for this
 

these devices failed to converge:

First of all, you have to look at the simulator's output log.
In directory of your netlist (D:\orcad\ne555-PSpiceFiles\SCHEMATIC1\) there should be a file named "ne55.log" or "ne55.lis". It will contain detailed simulation description.

Also I see this in your log:
Discontinuing simulation due to convergence problem

It means that simulation was started, but simulator couldn't solve internal system of equations.
You can help him by setting some additional options in netlist. For more details, look the OrCAD documentation for "newton iterations count" (as I rememeber, it's itl4 option in netlist). Try to set it to 100 or 1000.
