The ntc=2 was for MD only, not for energy minimization. There is really no
need for energy minimization after you start MD for 100 ps. If you indeed
need to perform energy minimization, we can deal with it later.
Please let me know if you do not want to follow my suggestions. I'd be
happy to stop. Just in case you still want to try to follow my
suggestions, please do exactly what I said, continue the MD for 100 ps
with the exactly the input I told you earlier. It is hard to find out what
went wrong when you change the input parameters.
