I want to second Jeff’s comment: not-a-numbers in pressure and crazy energies mean that your system is not constructed well. If you provide us the full NAMD configuration file you use and the result of "measure minmax [atomselect top all]" we will be able to see if there are any obvious errors. You’ll have to find problems with the system, if any, yourself.
