I am getting this type of warning

After running for 30000 steps it shows

*Warning: Geometrical pathCV relies on the assumption that the second
closest frame is the neighbouring frame*
*Please check your configuration or increase restraint on z (*This warning
comes earlier as well
*)*
I tried to increase *harmonic restraints* along the gz path from 0.5 to 5
but the problem still persists.

The error file gave following error
User defined signal 2
ERROR: One or more process (first noticed rank 8) terminated with signal 12

Kindly suggest,
