Extremely Sorry for my carelessness , New mdp files means the same as
previous, with same number of steps, but just change in output frequency

So as per your recommendation and experience  Is any alternative to do
these from 20 ns???

As per the link..
http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/File_Formats/Checkpoint_File
I interpreted following things..

1. I have to use the state.cpt , but in the case  problem to these I have
to use prev.cpt,  I can check there
    content by gmxcheck..

     But my Query is What are may be the potential problems ?? and how to
find them ??

Crash the run is very often with my system, that why I am worried..
