GROMACS version:2018

GROMACS modification: Yes/No  
Here post your question : I am trying to do adsorption of cysteine and au atoms on the Au (111) surface in the prescence of water but when i tired to run nvt,lincs warning is coming, i have also done minimization again for a longer time step but this is occuring again.
