Dear Gromacs user,

After I give the command for nvt, I get the following error:
starting mdrun 'Protein in water'
150000 steps,    300.0 ps.

Step 0, time 0 (ps)  LINCS WARNING

If the run crashes at step zero, it suggests a catastrophic failure, i.e. the input configuration is not stable enough to simulate or there is a topology problem.

If I do the constraints = none

then i get the following warning-
The bond in molecule-type Protein_chain_A between atoms 1 N and 2 H1 has
   an estimated oscillational period of 1.0e-02 ps, which is less than 5
   times the time step of 2.0e-03 ps.

Should I change the dt=0.002 to dt=0.00001?

I doubt it will help. If you want dt = 0.002, you must use constraints, so turning them off is not a wise idea. The constraints are failing in the simulation, but that doesn't mean they are the cause of the problem. They're just the first thing to fail due to insanely high forces. Your run will undoubtedly fail without constraints eventually.
