Hello, I built a gaming system for a friend, he plays World of Warcraft on it and it randomly shuts down while he's playing. His frame rate while playing is 16 but it should be 60. He lowered his "Graphic Setting" and the "frame rate" jumped from 16 to 34. The card is I installed in his system is:
MSI Radeon R7 250 Video Card 1GB GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0 (x16), Overclocked, - R7 250 1GD5 OC which is from TigerDirect. On TigerDirect it's Item#: RSC-102014582 Model#: R7 250 1GD5 OC. Any idea what the problem could be? The error he gets is: "AODDRIVER \ Root something not present or not working properly."

Here are the other components in his system:
MoBo: MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 AM3+Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 8GB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz CL9 2x4
CPU: AMD FX-6300 Processor - 6-Core, 3.5GHz, Socket AM3
Pwr Sply: Corsair CX500 Modular 500-watt Power Supply
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid-Tower Computer Case

He's trying to play "WOW" on Ultra Settings.
Any help would be awesome!

Your problem is with the GPU itself....although the R7 2XX series is a good gaming card, that 250 is just a basic GPU and barely better than the onboard GPU or CPU based graphics.

I like using "Can you run it" along with checking the game specs......

Can You RUN It | Can I run that game | Game system requirements

For the error issue, have a look at this......

Thanks bassfisher6522, I had him run "can I run this" and the graphics card is lacking like you said. Do you have any suggestions on which one I should use? The Mother Board should still be ok / compatible right?

Hello, it's been a while, but now he's ready to buy a better graphics card for the gaming system I built him. In an earlier post I listed the build sheet for it. Any suggestions on a good gaming card? He plays "World of Warcraft." Thanks for any help...
