Far too high input level. Or a faulty amplifier (but that's less likely).

Perhaps the feedback path has been incorrectly configured so that it gives positive feedback rather than negative?
or the gain is way too high.
or the input level is way too high.

That doesn't square up :-) There is a distinct difference between a comparator and an amplifier: hysteresis. You don't want it in an amplifier. You don't want a comparator without it :-)
