Hi
The follwing is my .out file.

Thank you

You can change "probable" to an actual answer if you analyze whatever LINCS
warnings are occurring (the atoms are listed) and by watching the resulting
trajectory.

Then you should follow up #4 above with another visual inspection, as you
did
with protein-ligand interactions, in addition to any information printed to
the
log file (as above).

So solvent-solvent overlap shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, this is standard.

In theory, not really.  What values of potential energy and maximum force
did
the energy minimization converge to?

Read the information printed to the log file (again, I'm assuming you're
seeing
LINCS warnings, but you haven't told us what "broke" means!) and watch the
trajectory to see where things start to fall apart.  As I suggested to
someone
earlier, if the crash is happening reasonably early, setting "nstxout = 1"
is a
useful diagnostic to capture all frames prior to the crash.
