Dear Amber users

I am running thermodynamic integration with amber, pmemd on cpu, Amber14. I am using the following input file for running:

TI simulation
 &cntrl
   imin = 0, nstlim = 150000, irest = 1, ntx = 5, dt = 0.002,
   ntt = 3, temp0 = 298.0, gamma_ln = 5.0, ig = -1,
   ntc = 2, ntf = 1, ntb = 1,ntp = 0,
   ioutfm = 1, iwrap = 1,
   ntwe = 1000, ntwx = 1000, ntpr = 100, ntwr = 2000,


   icfe = 1, ifsc = 1, clambda = 0, scalpha = 0.5, scbeta = 12.0,
   logdvdl = 1,
   ifmbar = 1, bar_intervall = 1000, bar_l_min = 0.0, bar_l_max = 1.0,
     bar_l_incr = 0.1,
   timask1 = ':116,149', timask2 = ':159,160',
   scmask1 = ':116,149', scmask2 = ':159,160',


 &end

The output is:

when I am using this input as "lambda=1" the system runs well. But when I switch to "lambda = 0" the system crashes with the following coordinates:


 -2.2263528 0.4948044 1.3902758 -9.8532522 -20.0000000 4.7261966

   3.6102063 2.5685121 -2.9439387 -2.4273888 -20.0000000 -20.0000000

  -0.2922468 3.1186614 -4.0249280 -9.9457371 4.3672343 -20.0000000
  12.1206371 -14.9312673 20.0000000 3.3266217 -1.5028986 1.1370716
 -20.0000000 -12.9537867 -20.0000000 20.0000000 20.0000000 16.7487781
  87.1893599 101.2862751 136.4590540 90.0000000 90.0000000 90.0000000

The system is very well minimized with "lambda=0" as follow:
minimisation

 &cntrl
   imin = 1, ntmin = 1, maxcyc = 600,ncyc =400,
   ntpr = 20, ntwe = 20,
   dx0 = 1.0D-7,
   ntb = 1,

   icfe = 1, ifsc = 1, clambda = 0, scalpha = 0.5, scbeta = 12.0,
   logdvdl = 0,
   timask1 = ':116,149', timask2 = ':159,160',
   scmask1 = ':116,149', scmask2 = ':159,160',

   !method 2:
   !scmask1 = '', scmask2 = ':163.HG=',
 /

 &ewald
 /




and the minimized system sounds without problem. I started the restart simulation from a previous run. With ntpr=1 also I have the same coordinate with "20000" from starting point in equillibration. Any idea why this happen when the lambda switch to 0?

Thanks
