[AMBER] QMMMMD blowup

Hi,

I am following QMMMMD tutorial online to do a regular protein test job. However,
I found my system Density and Volume increase linearly after several ps simulation.

And the temp is stable at around 350 K on average, rather than the expected 300 K.

I guess my system is blowing up. Here I post my production run input file,

===================
300K constant temp QMMMMD
 &cntrl
  imin=0, ntb=2,
  cut=8.0, ntc=2, ntf=2,
  tempi=300.0, temp0=300.0,
  ntt=3, gamma_ln=1,
  ntp=1, taup=2.0,pres0=1,
  nstlim=5000, dt=0.002,
  ntpr=10, ntwx=10,ifqnt=1
 /
 &qmmm
  qmmask=':1',
  qmcharge=0,
  qmtheory=1,
  qmshake=1,
  qm_ewald=1, qm_pme=1
 /


=====================
Is this because my simulation is not long enough, or maybe I should do energy minimization more properly?

Thanks,

Yao
