Looks like you have these backwards: you probably want the initial
temperature (tempi) to be zero, and the target temperature (temp0) to be
298. No matter what initial temperature you set, if you set temp0=0.0,
after 40000 steps you will end up with a temperature very near zero.

I support Carlos' suggestion: use established equilibration protocols,
unless you are sure that you need to make some changes.
