there is one trick which once worked for me:
run many minimization steps (like 10,000). the system will be cooled
down so much that it takes much longer to heat it up, and
correspondingly you avoid fast movement of atoms which usually causes
namd to quit.
another comment is look at the energy output, it will be high if you
have at least 2 atoms overlapping in space.
and finally, increase output report (say, output every step or every
10nth step), then you'll know exactly at which point in trajectory the
system broke down.
