    You didn't mention what case you are using for your PC. Heat is the biggest killer of GPU's.
    Try pulling the side door off the case and see if that helps. If not the card is probably toast.
    If you end up getting another card try installing an extra fan inside the case infront of the
    HHD and direct the air into the case or leave the case door open and see what temps are like.
    I have the same card and my temps rarely go over 55c. Mind you I have good air flow.
    You also need to clean the GPU fan occasionally especially if you live in a dusty area
    or have your computer on carpet.
    Thats my temp. I tried with open case before as I thought its overheat, no difference.
    I will try to reinstall windows tonight, maybe that will help.

    It might be the PSU - Powercool looks like a $15 rebadged OEM unit. Do you have another to swap it out?

    I see you have your core over clocked try setting it back to defaults and see what happens.
    These are my temps a couple of minutes after playing Halo2 a notorious card warmer.

    The temps are fine. My 6870 can hit 60 after 6 hours of gaming.

    Not really talking about the temps now more about the core overclock, could be your card just doesn't like
    being overclocked. Try setting it back to defaults and see what happens.
