At high temperature you need a shorter time step. Are you sure you don't want to use T-coupling?

Thanks for the advice,

it didn't solve the problem, but it took me one step further to the solution. I should have been more specific about my system:

Its an argon/nonane (2:1) system at 600 K. The normal timestep is 1.0 fs, I also used 0.5 fs and 0.1 fs for testing purposes.
Only the argon is coupled to the heatbath.

The Shake-problem is only a symptom, the real problem is that the energy is not conserved (checked via a NVE-run). The total energy is conserved for a time (for example about 60000 timesteps) , then jumps upward fourfold over about 1000 timesteps. After that the SHAKE-problems starts. Making the timestep smaller doesn't solve the problem.

Do you have any suggestions, why the energy is not conserved (apart from a wrongly implemented force field) ?

Thanks in advance for your help!
