I checked the files that you shared offlist.

the TI step doesn't match what you provided here, so I can comment on what
you sent but it might not match this problem since it's not the same output.

your TI output step says this about your input file:

   ntr = 1, restraint_wt = 10.0,

   restraintmask=':72,181.CA',


so you are restraining 2 atoms. when you look at the initial energy you see
this:

 NSTEP = 0 TIME(PS) = 0.000 TEMP(K) = 0.00 PRESS =
0.0
 Etot = 10714.2446 EKtot = 0.0000 EPtot =
10714.2446
 BOND = 413.3732 ANGLE = 1011.9453 DIHED =
 1800.0072
 1-4 NB = 548.8708 1-4 EEL = 11331.5321 VDWAALS =
48069.0806
 EELEC = -387183.3524 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
 334722.7877
 EAMBER (non-restraint) = -324008.5431
 DV/DL = 82.1952



the restraint energy is extremely high, and the system will be unstable.
This usually means that your inpcrd and your refc do not match.
Checking your file assignments it shows that your initial coordinates are
heat.rst7, but your reference is ti.rst7. These must differ significantly
in the positions of those 2 atoms that you want to restrain.
Your files don't say how you generated ti.rst7.

| INPCRD: heat.rst7

| PARM: ti.parm7

| RESTRT: ti001.rst7

| REFC: ti.rst7
