Error "system is computationally singular" by using function dmvnorm

Dear R users, i try to use function dmvnorm(x, mean, sigma, log=FALSE) from R package mvtnorm to calculate the probability of x under the multivariate normal distribution with mean equal to mean and covariance matrix sigma. I become the following Error in solve.default(cov, ...) : system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 1.81093e-19
Probably your sigma is almost singular and can't be inverted in the calculation of the Mahalanobis distance. Uwe Ligges
What could be the reason of it? Thank you in Advance, Alla.
