You'll need to provide a much better report than this if you want to receive any useful help.

Copy and paste the exact commands of what you did
Copy and paste the exact log file and error messages


I'd also add that we need a detailed description of the system, including force field used and any other special considerations (distance restraints, modified parameters, etc). An .mdp file would also be useful for the run that crashes.

Do this for 4.0.7 and 4.5.4, for which I trust that you have been using exactly identical test systems. If not, then please try it again while conserving the system.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the reply. First, I don't thinks it is poorly compiled bin, as I
used both GROMACS compiled by me (on my machine) or by the sys-admin on
Linux cluster or blue-gene.

The simulations using 4.5.4 crashed giving LINCS error, which is not the
case with 4.0.7 (using the same mdp and pdb files). Second, I don't thinks
it is poorly compiled bin, as I used both GROMACS compiled with me (on my
machine) or by the sys-admin on Linux cluster/blue-gene.

cheers,
Itamar

Could be a system blowing up, or perhaps a mis-compiled binary.  What
error messages do you get when the crash occurs?

I did, it crashed after few ps's of free MD or during the PR runs.
