Hi,
 
maybe you should check if your total energy after minimization is really in
minimum. Maybe plot the total energy against the timestep and see if the
energy converges. The fact that especially the vdw energy goes to
9999999999.9999 indicates that atoms are too close to each other. Have you
fixed some atoms during minimization? If so, check if there's nothing going
wrong, and all atoms can get their right distances. Because the bond, angle
and dihed energy look fine, I think it is really just a problem of atoms
lying to close.
 
Best regards
 
Norman Geist.

I did equilibration after minimzation of 20000 steps , I am getting
following errors during equilibration:-

Can anybody tell be how to rectify the errors for those atoms.
