Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 10

Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.
You might need to increase your constraint accuracy, or turn
off constraints alltogether (set constraints = none in mdp file)

writing lowest energy coordinates.

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 34 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 10.
Potential Energy  = -1.4354568e+06
Maximum force     =  6.9535597e+10 on atom 25439
Norm of force     =  4.5592896e+08

From your pdb2gmx output, it looks like you have some lousy starting geometry in whatever structure you're processing:

Try to run EM on that structure before solvating (i.e., in vacuo) , because you probably have lots of steric clashes with the solvent arising because of improper protein geometry.

Hi,

I think that my minimization are not running long enough. I've been
following the parameters in tutorials but it seems like they all die
at 34 steps

I've been using these tutorials
https://extras.csc.fi/chem/courses/gmx2007/tutorial1/tutorial1.pdf
http://md.chem.rug.nl/education/mdcourse/MDpract.html

Its been the same case for me regardless to whether I use Windows or
Linux platforms. Are there settings I can use to make the simulation
minimize longer or is this case where I need to have double precision
version?
