If the potential energy was that high, I would suspect the system crashed - did 
it?  What were you running, EM or MD?  If the latter, did you provide the 
correct, energy-minimized structure to grompp when creating the .tpr file for 
the run?  Detailed commands and actual output would be useful here, otherwise 
it's all guesswork.

Also, what version of Gromacs are you using?
