It looks like you have some bad contacts between atoms, which remain even
after minimization. Did the "production run" go forward by even a few steps?
If so, you can try re-starting the simulation from wherever it
stops...sometimes that solves the problem.
Otherwise, you may have to re-check your starting conformations.

Best,
