I just recently built my own computer and I have installed the driver that I got with my GPU and I tried to go online and download drivers from AMD, but it said that there were no drivers that needed to downloaded. So I figured that I was all set to play some Minecraft. So, I got on minecraft.net, downloaded the installer, installed Minecraft, and I was ready to download and play Minecraft 1.8.7. When it finished downloading, it closed out of the launcher, did nothing for a second, and the the launcher came back with a crash report. I hope someone can help me. Here's the crash report:

if you post your DxDiag summary, or identify your graphic card, someone may find a stable driver for you that you can install, maybe someone already has a link that you can use, but its not going to happen' if you cant tell what graphic card you have.
EDIT:
Asides of problem with driver, you could also evaluate how stable your operating system is, and/or if it contributes to the problem, aswell as physical problems with graphic card like overheating, too much dust on cooler, or fan on graphic card jammed ...

My graphics card is an ASUS Radeon R7 260x. And what do you mean when you say how stable my OS is?

I already did this, but thanks for the help! I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver that came with my GPU and done the same with drivers from the internet but nothing seems to help. What is Open GL, exactly?
Open Graphics Library, collection of functions and standards to work with graphic rendering. If driver does not provide OpenGL functionality, game will not be able to start, and will report error like you have expirienced.
EDIT:
You did mentioned that you get a msg after crash that driver has stoped responding and has recovered. many many reasons for it, software related and hardware related, cant point to specific one, you can eliminate them one by one, starting from dust and fan on your Graphic card, then PSU (Power supply unit) with broken capacitors inside, or old enough to start working badly, or not powerfull enough to supply enough power that it is required, then broken capacitors on motherboard. With Windows ... i can only sudgest , clean install takes about hour or 1 and 1/2 hours to install it, rather than spending days, weeks etc. figuring out what could have possibly gone wrong.

What do you mean by a clean install? A clean install of Windows?
I'm guessing my Windows is messed up then, because all of my parts are brand new and have no dust them and are in perfect condition.
Quite probbable, just remmember to leave some space for ideas that noone could have predicted.
Yesterday for example i had a client that had issues with computer shuting down constantly in the morning but in the afternoon it was working just well, 2 months old computer ... i found out that his computer is right next to the window, and in the morning it gets direct sunlight for 6 hours and the computercase heats up to +infinity. And one time i had a client whose computer was always on the move, and his graphic card was constantly faling out of slot when he bumps it against door.
Nevertheless in your case i'd say that messed up operating system is most probbable cause of issues.

Driver issue, no question about it.
Sooo...what can I do about it?
After it crashes, it says in the bottom right corner, "AMD Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered sucessfully."

Try installing driver from this source:

What do you mean by a clean install? A clean install of Windows?
yes
If I do a clean install, do you think it will fix it?
Let me see... If your graphic card is overheating, no it wont, you will still need to clean dust, and/or un-block jammed fan from it ...
If yuu have broken capacitors on your graphic card ... no it wont
If you have unstable PSU ... no it wont
if you have poured coca-cola over your computer no it wont ...
If your Windows is messed up ... yes it will.
Now you tell me which one of the offered options is happening to your computer?
