There are two potential sources of error here.  Either there is something wrong 
with the potential function you're using (i.e., a typo or miscalculation) or you 
have a physically unrealistic system.  Did you do energy minimization, and did 
it converge to an appropriate potential energy, as the mdrun output says?

Without knowing more about your system or the run parameters, it is difficult to 
give more details.
