this means that the system is unstable.
my guess is that you have used non-standard force field parameters but have
forgotten to tell us.
if yes, search the amber web site for the error message. you will see lots
of discussion about the error and advice to people that created new
parameters.
If it is completely standard Amber parameters, the tell us how you built the
structure. The minimizer can handle most problems, but maybe you built a
structure that cannot be fixed (knotted rings, overlapped packing). The best
thing to do is to look at the atom under "GMAX NAME NUMBER" at step 1 and
then use a visualization program to see what is wrong at that spot.
