[gmx-users] Segmentation fault (core dumped) error during minimization

[Elham Taghikhani]

Hi 
 I am simulating a protein-ligand system, using oplss force field but i got this error during minimization.
Steepest Descents:
   Tolerance (Fmax)   =  1.00000e+03
   Number of steps    =        50000
Step=    0, Dmax= 1.0e-02 nm, Epot=  1.27151e+33 Fmax= 4.76291e+07, atom= 1996

and this is my mpd file:; LINES STARTING WITH ';' ARE COMMENTS

Can anyone suggest how to troubleshoot this error? 
The system is nuetralized. Thank you in advance.
