David,

Thanks for replying. Here is my config script for the first simulation

&cntrl

        irest=0, ! no restrt

        ntx=1, ! (only coordinates will be read from a formatted file.)

        imin=0, ! (no minimization)

        ntr=0, !

        ntf=2, ! (Force evaluation,complete interaction is calculated)

        ntc=2, ! (SHAKE,bonds involving hydrogen are constrained)

        tol=0.0000001, ! (shake tolerance)

        iwrap=1, ! coordinates written to the restart and trajectory files
will
        cut=12.0, !

        fswitch=10.0,!

        ntt=3, ! (Langevin dynamics for temperature control)

        ig=-1, ! random seed

        gamma_ln=5.0, ! (collision frequency)

        temp0=310.0, ! (reference temperature)

        ntp=1, ! ( pressure control, isotropic (x-,y-,z-) pressure
scaling)
        ntb=2, ! (constant pressure (default when ntp > 0))

        taup=8.0, ! (Pressure relaxation time)

        ntpr=5000, ! (print energy output interval)

        ntr = 1, ! Turn on positional restraints

        ntrx =1,

        restraint_wt = 10000, ! 10 kcal/mol/A**2 restraint force
const
        restraintmask = '.CA,C,O,N' ! Restraints on the backbone atoms only

        ntwr=5000, ! (frequency to write restart file)

        ntwe=0, ! (don't write energies and temperature to mden file)

        ntwx=5000, ! (write coordinates to the mdcrd file)

        nstlim=10000000, ! (Number of MD-steps. 90ns, total of 100ns)

        dt=0.002, !

/

For restart, I just put irest=1, ntx=5,
I didn't get what you mean by "no water box". Regarding energy, it seems
the energy part is messed up from the beginning of the second simulation.
Here is the beginning of the Results section of the output
