sorry..forgot to attach the file...
After my NVT I have checked the PE of the system..It was stabilised..So I thought everything was fine till NVT. How can i check whetehr its a problem with NVT?Is that the box type could be the resaon?

You haven't posted the .mdp file. In any case, see my previous message. I
think something went wrong during NVT. Here, the messages indicate that your
box is exploding. See, for example:
