Thanks for your reply! I have a try, when I set up, ntx=1  irest=5,, dt=0.002,
 ntf=2, ntc=2. The MD was stopped immediately: IREST (  5) must be 0 or 1.  NTX / IREST inconsistency *** input error(s). Then I checked the email-list, Prof. David, ever suggested someone use ntx=1  irest=0. When I try this, it worked well! This means it will not use the fomer velocity. Is it ok?

Exceeded vlimits are generally indicative of overlapping atoms.  Try
printing to your trajectory every step for a small number of steps
(ntwx=1) and visualizing the result to see if you can tell which atoms
may be causing the problems.

You may try minimizing and carefully heating the system in order to
relieve those bad contacts.  However, it appears as though you've
already run a short amount of MD and this run is a restart, so you
should probably set the variables "irest=1, ntx=5".  Also, if you want
to run with a 0.002 timestep, you should be SHAKEing bonds involving
hydrogen atoms (as their frequencies are too high to use such a long
timestep).  Do this with "ntf=2, ntc=2".  Details can be found in the
manual.

Good luck!
