Hello Mr Jason & Mr. Dac,
                                       Yes it is conjugate gradient
minimization. Before this minimization I minimized this system for
110000 steps. At first for 15000 steps where I used the following
input file-
minimization
 &cntrl
  imin = 1,
  ntb = 0,
  igb = 0,
  ncyc  = 2500,
  maxcyc = 15000,
  cut = 99
 /
After this I minimized the system for two times using the following input file.
minimization
 &cntrl
  imin = 1,
  ntb = 0,
  igb = 0,
  ntmin = 0,
  maxcyc = 50000,
  drms = 0.000001,
  cut = 99
 /
Now when I am going to minimize it for third time the errors which I
posted before are coming.
So, should I use igb = 6?
