Dear Amber Martis and Dac
thank you for your valueable suggestions.

I have used the same minimisation file output file to look for the energy
it seems that energy is stable now as in dat file attached. I did complete
minimization from this system as following command
sander -O -i min_all.in -p complex.prmtop -c complex.inpcrd -r
complex_min_all.rst -o complex_min_all.out

*However it stops at 30 steps:*
 NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
     30 1.7222E+07 5.7664E+05 2.5970E+08 CG2 4394

 BOND = 138230.7732 ANGLE = 10176.6357 DIHED =
7716.9429
 VDWAALS = 17385498.1326 EEL = -614341.8893 HBOND =
 0.0000
 1-4 VDW = 277507.6838 1-4 EEL = 17256.8798 RESTRAINT =
 0.0000

Here is the input I used:-
Minimization of the entire molecular system

 &cntrl

  imin=1, maxcyc=2000,

  ntpr=5,

 &end
Can you please suggest me reason and how to solver it?
thanks in advance.
