Dear All,

Although I have set gen_temp = 300, it is showing the initial temperature
445.7 K, generated at the very beginning  of the run.

gen_vel                 = yes             ; velocity generation
gen_temp                = 300
gen_seed                = 93873959697

Is it because of a bad geometry? In mailing list I came across this thread
[ http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.gromacs.user/41931]
Prior to this production run, I heated my system slowly from 0 K to 300 K
within 300 ps time span.
It would be very helpful if someone suggests me the way to deal with this
problem?


A full .mdp file is always more useful than a small snippet. I have seen this same behavior when the "continuation" parameter is incorrectly set - have you used "continuation = yes" in your .mdp file? If not, the constraints get messed up and your initial velocities can get all messed up.

A larger point is this - why are you re-generating velocities after heating the system from 0 to 300 K? Why not simply preserve the ensemble at 300 K by using a .cpt file?
