No, minimisation was without PR. Surely minimisation with PR would *increase* bad contacts, rather than removing them? I've tried running for a while under normal MD, successfully and without LINCS errors, then taking the endpoint and running under PR, but it still crashes almost instantaneously, so it's unlikely to just be a matter of energies or bad contacts, I'd have thought?
