I am getting this issue where "display driver has stopped responding and has recovered". It usually only happens when watching youtube videos in fullscreen or if the video happens to be rather long (30+ mins). I have played some fairly graphical intense games and have yet to receive this error when gaming. I've tried a few of the basic things like doing clean update of video driver, updating bios, updating java, windows updates etc. still doesn't fix it. I monitor my temperatures and clean inside my case often, so its not an overheating issue, also not OCing. No idea why its only when watching videos does this occur and not when gaming. I use firefox as my browser and I even did a clean reinstall with no addons just to be safe. Out of ideas at this point.

Specs:
Windows 10 64bit
AMD R9 270x
i7 6700
16GB RAM
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming mobo

Try this,
First of all you need to TOTALLY remove all the old drivers. Use this link.

Note:
Select the respective company(i.e Nvidia or ATI) drivers to be uninstalled.
Use clean and restart option.
And then install the new drivers after rebooting.

I've used DDU as part of the clean install i mentioned earlier.

How old is your gpu? Try running prime95 and furmark at the same time for at least 10 mins, if your pc doesn't crash then it's not a psu fault. My guess is that your gpu just broke, do you still have warranty on it? if you have then send it to the retailer to be replaced.

It's a possibility that it could be faulty hardware, but I doubt it. I can trigger the display crash doing a certain activity. If it was faulty hardware, it would be crashing in games or just randomly. Instead the display only crashes when playing certain video players (youtube etc.) and usually when the videos are long. A video is a lot less hardware intensive than a triple A game.

I'm trying some things though. I switched my browser to google chrome since their video players are formatted differently. If i go a week and nothing happens I'm going to chalk it up to an issue with firefox. I'll keep taking any suggestions though. Much appreciated.
