step 1: Water molecule starting at atom 41146 can not be settled.
Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep if appropriate.

If I do the constraints = none

then i get the following warning-
The bond in molecule-type Protein_chain_A between atoms 1 N and 2 H1 has
  an estimated oscillational period of 1.0e-02 ps, which is less than 5
  times the time step of 2.0e-03 ps.

Should I change the dt=0.002 to dt=0.00001?
What else can I do?

Thanking you,

Regards,
Gaurav.
