Hello,

Set ntwx to 1 and try to visualize what's happening to your system to make
it blow apart. Secondly, I would leave tol at its default value. Finally,
the restraints that you're applying appear to be applied to every atom in
the system, not just the backbone. To restrain the backbone, you can use
"restraintmask=".CA,N,C,O" and restraint_wt to set the strength of the
restraints. You'll have to get rid of the restraint cards at the bottom of
your input file, though. I would also leave vlimit at its default value.
 Why are you changing it?

All the best,
Jason
