still the previous advice: check the structure visually. I guess that there is bad contact.

Well, my initial guess was something wrong with the structure. But the same gro file gives a correct minimisation with cut-off. So I tried a 0 step minimisation to see which component is different. Here it is:

==> cutoff.xvg <==
@ s0 legend "Coulomb (SR)"
    0.000000  -7838.336914

==> pme4.xvg <==
@ s0 legend "Coulomb (SR)"
@ s1 legend "Coul. recip."
    0.000000  -8141383915228874407936.000000  -9205.502930

Obviously the Coulomb(SR) is aberrant. The only line I changed between the two mdp is:

coulombtype              =  cut-off

to

coulombtype              = pme

I don't understand why the Coulomb SR is different and even more why it is illogical. Could it be pme parameters? I keep the defaults (pme=4 or 8 does change a little the reciprocal component but not the SR).

Hello,
I have a strange problem with a 100 molecule system where I used cut- off electrostatics and I want to use pme from now. After md with Coulomb cut-off, I minimised with steep (and the same Coulomb cut-off) and it ends OK: I take this minimised .gro and I minimise it again but now I change to PME electrostatics. It crashes from the beginning with an infinite force (not on the atom with the previous maximum force) and the energy is huge: 6.56504e+19 instead of -5.0425977e+04 which was the end of the previous minimisation. Do you have any explanation? Should I change some PME parameters?

This suggests you are doing something grossly wrong. Check your structures visually, check you're actually feeding in the structure you think you are, check your .mdp file contains what you think it does.
