Running AMBER FF with NAMD 2.8-CUDA

Hello:
First time trying to run parm7 file with NAMD 2.8 CUDA (two GTX-570
cards that work beautifully on running .psf/.pdb). I am finding it
difficult to minimize. before trying to run my files, I started with
.prmtop/.inpcrd for DNA duplex solvated as from AMBER tutorial B1 (I
also tried the updated A1 tutorial, resulting in different number of
atoms for prmto vs inpcrd).

Here the conf file:

After unusually long time, clashes were not removed. Is there any
conflict in the input file?
