I see no evidence that the topology changed between those steps.  Maybe there 
are other things going on that you're not saying, but from the commands posted, 
the multiple invocations of pdb2gmx seemed useless to me.  Once you build the 
system and set up the .top, it's fixed.  Again, I don't think this is at all 
related to your perceived problem.  I think your simulations are just an order 
of magnitude (at least) too short to be reliable.
