Your initial structure has lots of stored "potential energy", that is
being converted to kinetic energy in MD. What you describe is not all
that unusual.
Try setting ntt=3, gamma_ln to 5, and temp0 to 100K. It seems likely
that you will get a good low-temperature equilibration. If not, you may
need to examine the minimzation step to see if it got stuck, or you may
have problems with the initial setup of the system.
