Which parameter is supposed to be changed to get the sufficient minimized 
system? Would anyone guide me  please?

Thanks in advance

Cheers,
Shima

That error usually indicates your system is crashing and the DD algorithm is 
failing.  That means either the coordinates are insufficiently minimized, the 
topology is incorrect, or the .mdp settings are leading to instability.

Start over with a fresh set of force field files that you haven't experimented 
with and troubleshoot the stability of your system.  If you Google or search 
the mailing list archive for this error, tons of useful results show up.
