large vanderwalls energy during minimization

i have a structure made of 11 helixes of collagen. when i run the
minimization and equilibration of the structure in a water sphere, without
the water molecules from the protein data bank, the program runs fine.
however, when i include the water molecules, the vanderwalls energy values
are too large. it actually is so large the program can't calculate to
it's decimal.

i made the structure with hyperchem 6, if it makes a difference.

i would appreciate any advice, since my research focuses on the effects of
the structural water from the protein data bank.
