Hi,
 
               I got .out file, the last lines are:

mdinfo file has:
NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER

My system has 17258 atoms including H's. I would like to mention that I am new to using this software. So, when sander worked for small system, I thought, its because of more number of atoms. I was able to minimize solvent succesfully, by constraining protein. So, the problem seems to be related to system memory? I am not sure.
 
 
Thanks & regards,
Prema.
