Dear Cenk,

This is HUGE... Your system has obviously blown up. Try writing the
coordinate file every step and then you can watch and see what happens.

I suspect that something is very wrong with the structure from the constant
volume simulation. Check this carefully. If you can post that output file
that would be helpful as well. It is possible that your initial system was
highly compressed and so as soon as you remove the constraints of being
fixed to a certain volume it expanded extremely rapidly (i.e. an explosion).
This would imply that your initial structure, from which you did the
constant volume simulation, was overly compressed. You will need to go back
and check this.

Alternatively it could be due to cut=5...!!! Do you really mean to use a 5
angstrom cutoff???

Your restraints may also be causing you a problem. But I would check the
other things first.

All the best
