Hi Andrea,
I'd recommend two things:
-Have a look at your trajectory before the crash, and make sure the
volume isn't fluctuating too violently (which usually means an
insufficiently equilibrated system). You may want to write dcds at every
timestep starting immediately before the crash to better observe this
-Try the restart from a recent checkpoint option and see if it helps; if
you get a big change in volume, the initial distribution of atoms into
patches won't be valid, and you need to restart
