[AMBER] Abrupt temperature rise carrying out Transition path sampling

Hello all!

I am trying to carry out transition path sampling followed by umbrella
sampling carried out on my system under constant pH conditions in explicit
solvent. However, while doing so, the temperature is abruptly rising to as
high as 8000 K. I am unable to understand the reason behind it. I am
pasting my TPS input and a part of the corresponding output file as follows:

*TPS.in:*
 &cntrl
  imin=0,
  iwrap=1,
  nstlim=200000,
  dt=0.001,
  temp0=300.0,
  ntpr=500,
  ntwx=500,
  cut=10.0,
  ntb=1,
  ntp=0,
  ntt=3,
  gamma_ln=2.0,
  icnstph=2,
  solvph=5.0,
  ntcnstph=500,
  ntrelax=200,
  saltcon=0.1,
 &end

*TPS_pos.out:*
