Thanks.  Here's how I went about debugging the problem:
1.  Always try a short run (say a one-step minimization) setting ntpr=1.
That way you get the most information.  With your files, that gives this
as the mdinfo file:
   NSTEP       ENERGY          RMS            GMAX         NAME    NUMBER
      1              NaN            NaN     1.7616E+03     O       11561
 BOND    =      289.3063  ANGLE   =     1322.4636  DIHED      =     4107.7576
 VDWAALS =           NaN  EEL     =           NaN  HBOND      =        0.0000
 1-4 VDW =     1490.2773  1-4 EEL =    21931.0867  RESTRAINT  =        0.0000
The fact that the vdw and electrostatic interactions are NaN, but other things
seem OK, is a pretty good sign that two atoms (or more) are on top of each
other.
Then, I used cpptraj
cpptraj HumanTTR_TCP_Complex_Solvated.prmtop
trajin HumanTTR_TCP_Complex_Solvated.inpcrd
checkoverlap reportfile bad-contacts.txt
go
Here is the bad-contacts.txt file:
1	 Warning: Atoms 7730:WAT_688.O and 8558:WAT_964.O are close (0.00)
1	 Warning: Atoms 7731:WAT_688.H1 and 8559:WAT_964.H1 are close (0.00)
1	 Warning: Atoms 7732:WAT_688.H2 and 8560:WAT_964.H2 are close (0.00)
Clearly, waters 688 and 964 are in identical postions.  I hope this
information will help your user track down the origin of the problem.
