When i run the free command it has a free space of 33 MB. Is that could be the reason?. But I already read that gromacs doesnot consume that much memory(10-20Mb). If so tell me what could be the possibilities. attaching the mdp file and log file

Your simulation is blowing up 
http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/blowing_up, probably because your 
starting structure is badly broken (huge energy components, infinite 
temperature).
