Hi Venkat,
Your BOND energy is quite high. I suspect there is a problem with your
structure related to this. You appear to have ntpr=50 (default). Set
ntpr=1, which will give you more information. For more assistance, we
would need to see the files.
Also, your cut value of 8.0 is a little low. The recommended cut is at
least 10.0.
