Thanks Dimka so much for the kind and quick help. That's very helpful to me. I fixed the structure before minimization instead of simply extending the MIN, now the MIN and heating run smoothly.
Have a happy holiday season.

The atoms you're talking about may be "tangled". If that is the case, you can use VMD's move atom/residue option to help bring the atom in the right proximity.
When you plot the energies from NAMD log you'll see that this value converges or reaches a plateau at some point. From experience, it takes about 300-2000 steps to reach that point. Increasing the number of steps won't do much.
