You have bigger system (35064 atoms) than you state. Check your system
in some graphical editor, e.g. VMD, Vega. You have some atoms too close
to each other, so you could fix this manually. Then try first to
minimize only side chain (if only protein is in the system, if you also
have nucleic acids chain, check protonation states also), than minimize
whole system. Also check is some already minimized and equilibrated
system run equally slow on your node if this is a case maybe namd should
be compiled on different way. At the end NAMD 2.8 is better choice than
2.7.
