That seems intrinsically improbable, unless the oplsaa .hdb and .tdb 
files are not coping with the structure (somehow) and generating a 
broken starting configuration and/or topology. What was the final PE and 
maximum force from the gromacs forcefield EM? I suggest you look 
carefully at the post-pdb2gmx oplsaa structure for steric clashes, 
unsatisified valences, etc., and then look at the progress of the 
corresponding minimization. You should see evidence of whatever is wrong.
