Equilibrate first, then do funky things.

Here, in the first step, there is no error or warning during the making 
of .tpr file.But in the mdrun, after 3/4 steps, it crashes ans stop 
the MD run. It gives the following error message:
   Back Off! I just backed up dppc_pip2-ion_NPT_berendsen_md.edr 
to ./#dppc_pip2-ion_NPT_berendsen_md.edr.2#

water molecules'

One of the processes started by mpirun has exited with a nonzero exit
code.  This typically indicates that the process finished in error.
If your process did not finish in error, be sure to include a return
0 or exit(0) in your C code before exiting the application.

PID 21625 failed on node n0 (127.0.0.1) due to signal 11.

In addition to Marks' advice, don't couple solvent and ions separately.  This is 
a common error.  See here:
