Hi,

Not sure if this will help, but why are you starting your system with
an initial temperature of 10.0 K (irest = 0, ntx = 1, and tempi =
10.0)? I think you may be asking too much from the thermostat to jump
from 10.0 K to 300.0 K in only a few steps. Maybe try just setting
your initial temperature to 300.0 K (tempi = 300.0) and equilibrate
from there. Also, if you're still trying to equilibrate you may want
to use a smaller time step (something like dt = 0.001).
