Hi,
I just want to add what worked for me to close this thread properly.

My initial structures were 'very tense' so i decided to strip water and
ions and run minimization in vacuum for few hundred steps.

Then i added solvent and ions and ran a short minimization with SHAKE to
relax the water and ions while holding the rest of the system fixed.

now molecular dynamics is running happily.

Many Thanks,
Taufik
