Just finished updating my drivers, uninstalled the Catalyst control cente and downloaded just the display driver. Should I run speccy and that video card stress test program before I try testing whether or not my laptop still blue screens from youtube?

Yes run speccy to see the temperature of your card.
See if you still get more blue screens. Later run the stress test.

I let my youtube playlist play about 20 videos and still no blue screen. Both the CPU and motherboard temperatures hovered at around 45 degree C and the HD was at 31 C for the majority of the videos. Just ran the stress test for 15 minutes, and the video card never went over 61 degrees C.

Sounds good.
Let us know how the stress test goes.
Upload dumps if you get any.

Does it matter if the frame rate was extremely low during the stress test? (average of 4 FPS)

That's normal for your GFX-Card.

Sure, wait as long as you like.

If you're bluescreening again, come back and post them.
