why pressure is fluctuating so much

I am using a NPT ensemble in PBC condition for my production run.After
analysis what i observe is that the pressure deviates from -400 to +400
bar,even though i have given 1 bar in the config file using Langevin
dynamics.
Also the cell volume change by 2/3rd (smaller in volume) after production.
Prior to this i did equilibriation in NVT ensemble for a fairly long time.
Please advise.
