Can it run at 1K?

Now is definitely the time to look at those step-by-step mdout and mdcrd
files.

Likely as not in mdout before it fails, you'll see something about GMAX
on some atom, and looking at that atom in the structure you'll see the
problem, maybe something as trivial as a bond poking through a ring.
Likely (short cut) it's in the neighborhood of atoms 3764 and 3755 ("I
and J" in your fail msg below).

The other common case is if you made a nonstandard residue, which could
be an ion.

Have you graphed your minimization and dynamics energies?
