The details of exactly how you did this are important. I suspect that this
charged hydrogen is coming very close (or gets directly on top of) some
negatively charged atom, so that the EEl blows up:

You should look at the structure of your system right before it blows up to
see if something like this is happening.

But the whole setup seems bizarre: what exactly are you trying to calculate?
TI was designed to compute differences between real chemical states. What is
the purpose of adding a "point charge H" somewhere? What are the force field
parameters of this "H"?
