Thanks for everyone's help, I have gone through again checking everything that was mentioned. I have made sure that the temperature of my particles are set to a non-zero value along with a minimum value for their temperature. I assume that the latter is done only through the parameterfile? In my IC I set the U array to have N-1 particles because of the central mass and give them a non-zero value. Also in the parameterfile I do the same, therefore it should at least be read somewhere. Before stopping it does write the first snapshot it appears to have read in these temperatures correctly.
With regards to the MASSARR I have instead set them in the MASS array for each particle. I have always gone about it this (probably not the best). However, if I now tried to set it in the MASSARR for particle types it will come back as incorrect blocks sizes. I assume to set this it's as simple as just setting: MASSARR=[1000D, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], for example?
The example test IC's (Gas sphere) run fine with no errors and the my parameterfile matches that almost as the example cases.
Additionally I compiled Gadget2 to switch off gravity (NOGRAVITY) which resulted in the same error of zero time steps being assigned, hence it removes this as a potential problem.
When writing IC for gas particles do I need any other arrays except for the following, as this is what I am writing to the IC file at the end:
writeu,1,npart,massarr,time,redshift,flag_sfr,flag_feedback,npartTotal,la
writeu,1,pos
writeu,1,vel
writeu,1,id
writeu,1,mass
writeu,1,u
Thanks for the help.

Hi Phil,
You would get an error of this kind if you set the temperature of your particles to zero and don't impose a temperature floor. Then the sound-speed ends up being zero, causing a division by zero when the Courant timestep criterion is evaluated.
