    I had an error. I was running WoW and I went to go get something to eat then I came back and I had a BSOD and the error was Nv4_disp

    What kind of error is this? Vid card driver issues? Does anyone have a recommendation as to what kind of program I can use to clean drivers off my comp?

    Yes, it is related to your video card driver. Have you updated to the latest drivers?

    Also check your memory with MemTest86+, just to be thorough.

    Yeah, I decided to run the driver cleaner right after the BSOD. I remembered that I had it installed already. Memtest86+ has already been ran, that's a long story lol. I think my memory gets really hot. I think I need a new desk, or a laptop cooler that cools down the memory and everything else.
