The first frame here appears to be correct -- you have what seem to be
reasonable numbers for the terms

All of these numbers (except for, perhaps, EEL) seem very wrong.
Bond, angle, and dihedral values are orders of magnitude greater than
they were in the previous frame, which clearly cannot be correct.
This suggests that the topology files are inconsistent with the
trajectory file. All future frames have the same problem as frame 2

The fact that the first frame appears correct leads me to believe that
it is, that is that the coordinate file has extra atoms (waters?
counterions? etc.). Thus, the second frame will be using solvent
coordinates as solute coordinates, giving rise to these ridiculous
numbers. Ultimately, however, the prmtops and mdcrds are
incompatible. If the problem is that solvent is still present in the
mdcrd when it shouldn't be, use ptraj to strip the unnecessary atoms
from the mdcrd.

Good luck!
