Dear Dr. Dallas,
Thank you for your reply. Actually, I'm new to GROMACS and
I appreciate your support.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is what I get before crashing. Too many warning then crush.

Step 37, time 0.037 (ps)  LINCS WARNING

relative constraint deviation after LINCS:

rms 0.002768, max 0.195102 (between atoms 34930 and 34931)

bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees:

 atom 1 atom 2  angle  previous, current, constraint length

    193    194   51.7    0.1100   0.1100      0.1100

  54409  54410   32.3    0.1100   0.1100      0.1100
