Does it crash immediately or does mdrun start to write a md.log
file before it stops?

You then need the output from md.log where it says for which CPU-
architecture the gromacs binary has been compiled (optimized)
by the ubuntu maintainer.

If the maintainer's machine supported AVX and he didn't
explicitly select a "lower" instruction set, the binary
will crash on any machine not supporting AVX.
