This looks like the coordinate file was truncated. What are the contents
of heat_solv.rst? It also seems strange to me to see *both* of the error
messages you printed above in the same simulation. Maybe you saw the
cudaMemcpy error in the minimization, and then the heating stage failed
because the restart wasn't written?
What version of Amber are you using?

Common tips: run minimizations using the CPU code, since fixed-precision
numbers can overflow more often than double precision. Whenever you get an
error, check the CPU code to see if you get an error there as well. Error
messages are usually better when using the CPU code, so that is always a
good first step in debugging.
