Respected Gromacs Peoples,
                     i got following error in the step mdrun nvt

               1 particles communicated to PME node 1 are more than 2/3
times the cut-off out of the domain decomposition cell of their charge
group in dimension x.
This usually means that your system is not well equilibrated.

i searched gmx user regarding the error but i cant get solution
i understand Blowing up concept (
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up) before nvt npt
itself error arise  what i want do ? rectifying the problem

(i followed protein&ligand tutorial
http://www.bevanlab.biochem.vt.edu/Pages/Personal/justin/gmx-tutorials/complex/)
