Hi to all dear gmx users

during the Energy Minimization i got this warning in first few steps
after step 20
"step 20: Water molecule starting at atom 34209 can not be settled.
Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep if appropriate."

but after 3021 steps it was converged to Fmax < 1000.

then i start the Equilibration and in the zero to 4 steps i got this:
"Step 0, time 0 (ps)  LINCS WARNING
relative constraint deviation after LINCS:
rms 0.018591, max 0.374857 (between atoms 2409 and 2411)
bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees:
 atom 1 atom 2  angle  previous, current, constraint length"

in the step 5i got this and mdrun was terminate.
" Water molecule starting at atom 32146 can not be settled.
Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep if appropriate.

WARNING: Listed nonbonded interaction between particles 2312 and 2326
at distance 4211.247 which is larger than the table limit 2.034 nm.

This is likely either a 1,4 interaction, or a listed interaction inside
a smaller molecule you are decoupling during a free energy calculation.
Since interactions at distances beyond the table cannot be computed,
they are skipped until they are inside the table limit again. You will
only see this message once, even if it occurs for several interactions.

IMPORTANT: This should not happen in a stable simulation, so there is
probably something wrong with your system. Only change the table-extension
distance in the mdp file if you are really sure that is the reason.
