[AMBER] high energy output

Dear Amber Users,

I am using pmemd.cuda single processor job run. In my equilibration step
where I want to bring my system to the required density I am using ntb=2,
ntp=2, pres0=1, taup=1.0 with time step 0.001 . After certian initial steps
my output files give NaN in TEMP and sometime the energy is very high. I
have set temp0 and tempi as 300K and temperature fluctuates a lot.

So I used a a very small time step dt=0.0002, my job runs to certain extent
and again stops . There is no error message in output file but there are
some message as below. Can you help me with where I might be making a
mistake here.

Thanks Kirtana

Nonbond cells need to be recalculated, restart simulation from previous
checkpoi
nt
with a higher value for skinnb.
