Have you looked at the average structure? My guess is that if you have
BOX info, you averaged the solvent/ion positions along with the solute
structure which will lead to a large blob of overlapping molecules at the
center of the box due to rapid water/ion diffusion. In general, it is
meaningless to coordinate average the solvent since its motion is rapid.
This could lead to the blow up of the non-bonded pairs (since you
effectively have many more molecules within the cutoff than would be
normally expected).
What you have to do, if you want to minimize a solvated average structure
is strip the water and rehydrate or use an implicit solvent to do the
minimization (or minimize in gas phase)...
