Dear Amber !

I tried NEB for a 20 basepair DNA ,
I have generated 30 images between the two DNA having different conformation ,

I tried hearting the system

It gave NAN error in energy values ,

I have read the earlier comments , it is said that it may be a problem due to , atom on each other
so, i have minimized the structures from the begining and I did the same 30 copies ,
this time also it gave the same error , the system has 1260 atoms ,
my input for heating is
----------------------------------
heating the system
 &cntrl
  imin = 0, irest = 0,
  ntc=1, ntf=1,
  ntpr=50, ntwx=500,
  ntb = 0, cut = 999.0, rgbmax=999.0,
  igb = 1, saltcon=0.2,
  nstlim = 40000, nscm=0,
  dt = 0.0005,
  ntt = 3, gamma_ln=1000.0,
  tempi=0, temp0=300,
  ineb = 1,skmin = 10,skmax = 10,
  nmropt=1
 /
 &wt type='TEMP0', istep1=0,istep2=35000,
   value1=0.0, value2=300.0
 /
 &wt type='END'
 /
-------------------------------------

THE ERROR I HAVE GOT :

 Error in diagonalization routine dgeev
 
 NSTEP = 700 TIME(PS) = 0.350 TEMP(K) = NaN PRESS = 0. Etot = NaN EKtot = NaN EPtot = NaN

--------------------------------------------------------
how to solve this ?
thanks in advance !
