MD went crazy

Hi,
  I initiated MD by heating the ligand-protein complex with no
constraints on the atoms from 0 to 300K in 10 ps.Then 100ps eqilibration
at the constant temp. 300K was performed on restrained backbone and
distance. I got crazy MD output. THe energy and temp. went to very high
and a lot of vlimit warnings. Below is the input file and part of the
output file. Please take a look for me.
 Thank you very much and happy good Friday!
