There was a typo in the last message, I found NO issues in point 2.

Actually, you did. You said when you removed the ions, the problem was resolved. That indicates to me that the ions are somehow unstable. I don't know much about doing CG simulations, so maybe someone else can advise, but it seems that the long time step is causing large forces to accumulate on the ions and you get the crash. Are the ion particles just a single ion or some representation of a hydrated ion?

Subject: Re: [gmx-users] Segmentation fault mdrun

Thanks for the reply
I've attached a copy of my mdp file. It is a coarse grained system so a time 
step of 0.04 shouldn't be a problem. Regarding the link you've given, points 1 
and 4 are not applicable to my situation, I've tried point 2 and found issues. 
What should I be looking for in point 3?
Thanks
Alex

Hi
I'd really appreciate some advice on this issue, I tend to get a segmentation 
fault during my mdrun. I've searched online for ways to resolve this and tried 
to diagnose whats causing this problem but I'm having no luck.
I know that if you get a segmentation fault at step 0 its most likely a problem 
with system configuration or a minimization issue. However for my system I 
successfully run energy minimization and equilibration. When I run md the 
segmentation fault occurs usually very late on the system (past the 100ns mark).
I've found that minor adjustments to the system can either lead to the error or 
remove it. For example for one system, I ran it ION free and I had no issues, 
however when I just replace 12 water molecules with NA+ and CL- this leads to a 
segmentation fault. Also I was able to fix this error in another system just by 
changing the time step from to 0.04 to 0.03.
  From what I'm describing, does it seem as if the fault lies with the system 
set up? or the mdp file? or could it be a compiler issue? What information 
should I be looking for in my output file to perhaps determine where issue lays?

Provide the full .mdp file and people can comment on it.  Is this an atomistic
system?  A time step of 0.04 is insane if it is.
