It's weird that it "crashes after a few steps". Try a short run (10 steps)
and set ntpr=1. Look at the behavior of the energies to see if something
points to the problem. Have you minimized the initial coordinates? Have you
run this system before (i.e, is this a restart of the previously successful
MD run, or is this the first one?)
