Thank you all for the reply. Yes I checked my structure there are some
atoms which are very close to each other and thus gives very high energy
when I start my heating step. Minimization does not solve my problem. As
said by Dr. Ross I also verified the initial steps and in the third step
itself the structure is distorted.
When I was using sander earlier, in the first 500 steps of heating the
energy adjusts itself and the structure is relaxed with a sudden drop in
energy . Is it correct. When I use this structure i.e the restrt file in
pmemd.cuda this works fine.

NSTEP = 0 TIME(PS) = 0.000 TEMP(K) = 0.00 PRESS =
0.0
 Etot = -6521385.5703 EKtot = 0.0000 EPtot =
 -6521385.5703

 EELEC = -6591513.1069 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
