Dear Amber Users,

I have this vlimit exceeded error and have been searching for an explanation. From what I saw from the forum, one usually encounter this error during minimization steps. However for my simulation, I had run equilibration in NPT ensemble for 10 ns. The ETOT had been equilibrated. 
    4500.000      -12034.7595
    5500.000      -12064.1457
    6500.000      -12128.3399
    7500.000      -12051.6080
    8500.000      -12488.0090
    9500.000      -12117.1526
  10500.000      -12112.9081
When looking at the output file of NVE run, I see the ETOT, temperature and pressure are outrageous. It looked like E is not conserved! 
This is the step before the run died. I know something is seriously wrong going on here but I don't know how to troubleshoot this. I tried changing the volume in the restart file to make the box larger (smaller) and hoping that would take care of the pressure but none of them work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
