Error in doing factor analysis

Question

I am doing factor analysis with 500 variables and 1316 records. I am getting the following error:

Error in solve.default(cv) : 
  system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 2.5024e-18

The syntax I am using is:

factor.out1 <- factanal(covmat=cor(factor3, use="complete.obs"),factor=50,rotation="none")

Any suggestion will be of great help.

Thanks
