Dear Justin Thank you for previous reply.
                                                                          I am doing Carbon nano tubes Wrapped by Cyclic peptide
After NPT and NVT equilibration When i Run Production MD I have got The following Notes in terminal


NOTE 1 [file CNTCYCfull.mdp]:
  nstcomm < nstcalcenergy defeats the purpose of nstcalcenergy, setting
  nstcomm to nstcalcenergy
NOTE 2 [file CNTCYCfull.mdp]:
  You are using a cut-off for VdW interactions with NVE, for good energy
  conservation use vdwtype = Shift (possibly with DispCorr)
NOTE 3 [file CNTCYCfull.mdp]:
  You are using a cut-off for electrostatics with NVE, for good energy
  conservation use coulombtype = PME-Switch or Reaction-Field-zero
NOTE 4 [file gfggZ.top, line 60]:
  For energy conservation with LINCS, lincs_iter should be 2 or larger.

if I ignore the Notes  I am Not Able to run . S I have Changed All options Accordingly in .mdp files Then
When I run I have got the following errors after few Minutes

rms 37613.979597, max 954780.695847 (between atoms 1189 and 1190)

Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep if appropriate.
Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates
Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates
Segmentation fault


So I Have reduced the Time step Again I have received the same error as follows but this time 

Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates
Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates
Segmentation fault


How to Avoid Should I Equilibrate for Longer  time?  . I Have done 2ns Equilibration Only
Is My equilibration is not enough?

Thanks In Advance
