I almost removed everything. I am generating initial velocity at 0.01 K so the system should freeze. Its a dilute gas. But somehow I am getting very large velocites i.e. very large KE of the whole system.

That .mdp looks fine for NVE. Use g_energy -w to see the evolution of KE over time. It is well known that the use of cut-offs induces heating in the system - i.e. energy is not being conserved. Yours are much longer than you would use in protein-in-water MD, which is a step in the right direction, but I don't know how long they are for the system you're looking at - literature may help here. You would want cut-offs that get more than a few atoms into the interaction sphere, of course, and that depends how dilute the gas is.

Another possibility is that the system is not equilibrated straight after grompp does the gen_vel - it's just sampling velocities from a distribution, so the result is stochastic. I'd suggest doing a period of NVT and/or NPT to get the temperature and density correct for the system you want, and only then switch off the regulation algorithms to get NVE.
