Hello Justin,<br><br>I just scanned through the manual and also looked into the list to learn about the significance of reciprocal part to realize your statement. I did not find much about the fact that how I can judge if fourierspacing is the cause of the crash (I mean relevance between fourierspacing and coulb recip). I suspect the cause of crashes is because of electrostatics settings. BEfore that I had only vdw no run crashed. Since I used to get LINCS warning I removed bond constraints but still system is showing instabilities. I am confident that topology is fine and just wondering how else one can inspect root cause for unphysical forces.<br>

Everything has a cause; nothing is accidental.  No stable run should ever show LINCS warnings like this, so yes, there is something to fix.<br>
<br>
You also have not proven that your fourierspacing is not the cause.  The proper term to analyze is Coul-recip, which corresponds to reciprocal space Coulombic term.  I don&#39;t see that listed below.<br>
