Check the cap force fcap. It may be zero or may need to be increased.
Secondly try viewing the trajectory. For a water molecule to leave the
virtual box during a water cap simulation would require a lot of energy if
the cap force is greater than zero.
It is possible your system is unstable and blowing up. Watch the trajectory
in something like VMD and this should be obvious. If this is true then you
may need to be more careful in your simulation. Minimise the system better
and heat it more slowly.
All the best
