You have atom overlaps (vdw and EEL are huge, bonded terms are reasonable).  
I am guessing that the box size that you are using does not correspond
to the actual system's size.  Try turning off PBC and ewald, and see if you
still have problems, that will help you know whether the overlaps are within
the box or due to box imaging.
