If the system crashes during minimization, I certainly wouldn't expect it to do 
anything but crash if you don't run EM!

Usually it is better to show the .mdp file than to make us guess at what you've 
got...

Dealing with mixed solvents can be difficult.  You probably have some severe 
overlap that cannot be resolved by energy minimization.  Usually if you set 
nstxout = 1 in the .mdp file you can get a glimpse of where the system begins to 
explode.  That will provide some clues.
