There is almost certainly something very wrong with your starting
configuration. In only 10 steps of minimization, some atoms have moved
more than 30 Ang. You should look carefully at the structure and at the
initial energies to try to find bad contacts. The "checkoverlap" command
in ptraj is often very useful in finding problems with your initial
structure.
