Respected Dr justin,
                                During minimisation I restrained all the
heavy atom to 1000 and .mdp file I defined  =-DPOSRES. But during
minimization at 36th sept the following lines are coming
step 36: One or more water molecules can not be settled.
Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep if appropriate.

Back Off! I just backed up step36b.pdb to ./#step36b.pdb.1#

Back Off! I just backed up step36c.pdb to ./#step36c.pdb.1#
Can it creat any problem during equilibration?
