A newbie to Open Rails and I have a question

[ConCat]

I just took the plunge and installed Open Rails. I can start Open Rails and maybe run the program for about a minute or two then the computer just crashes. When I say crash I mean the computer just shuts down and I can't restart it until I unplug the computer for a minute, Happened twice. Does not do this until I start Open Rails. Computer has been fine now for about 45 minutes. Any ideas on what may be the problem?

Please post your computer specs. Also please attach a zip copy of the OpenRailslog.txt file. It is important to diagnose problems.
Thanks.

Yesterday I downloaded OpenRails and Now I'm unable to start reason as mentioned below:

My PC Config:
Intel Core2Duo 2.93Ghz, 2GB RAM, Win7 Ultimate 32Bit, Asrock G31 MBD

My Problem:
When I click on OpenRails.exe I get an error Open Rails require Microsoft XNA 3.1 Framework.
When I went on the Microsoft website in search of Microsoft XNA 3.1 Framework I found that the system requirement is WinXp/Vista. This means that it doesn't supports Win7.
thus what is the solution for this???

I never even noticed that there was no mention of Win7 but it seems it's not an issue as I've never had a problem with it.

Your inference is incorrect; Microsoft XNA 3.1 Framework works perfectly on Windows 7. Install it.

"Intel G41 express chipset onboard graphics."

Your problem with OR may lie there, onboard graphics will struggle with most sims.
