Your temps may be fine for now, but gaming or other GPU activities can skyrocket those temps, especially if the GPU is overclocked beyond specs.
You asked why two GPU's died in six months??? Overclocking can cause this.
If you're overclocking, you need to make sure you're using the correct values as overclocking done wrong will cause problems. Check that your PCI slots aren't running to far above 100MHz.
I run an overclocked system myself so I'm not bashing, just saying there's a right and wrong way. However I don't overclock my GPU.
My two cents.
well looking at the pic again why didnt you oc the memeory clock too it seems underclocked
I have mine oc'ed but yet i did it through the ccc card is stable no issues read alot about how to oc it though and from previous ati card 5770 you have to go with in the values these cards are good oc'ers you might have just gotten a dud
Further more if you dont have a back up or have any warrenty to back up this situation you will have to eat it if you got time to get it back and swap i suggest stay away from oc'ing till you find a card that actually works
To be honest that looks like a very soft oc so i don't really think it could be that bad
It really is starting to look like the core overclock. 40mhz is really quite high without some
additional cooling. Might get better results with a 5-20mhz overclock on the core and
experimenting with the memory. Usually 5-10% with the core and 10-25% on the
memory is safe. Not that I am saying it won't damage your card! Overclock at
your own risk.

According to the specs it should be allright.
Thats the specs of gpu. I dont overclock anything on pourpose but for some reason it was tick in CCC for overclocking. I am installing now something to try.
Actually you were running your core @ 740mhz according to your pic.
Hmmm.
Also your no load speeds were high.

See @ the bottom
yours were 400mhz and 900mhz I believe.

I suggest you download the latest drivers from ATI, then reboot into safe mode. Uninstall VGA drivers.
Reboot into safe mode, reinstall latest drivers in safe mode, then reboot.
I change PCIe settings in bios from AUTO to 100MHZ. Now CCC showing all clocks are lower. I still cant fix POWER SAVE MODE. It is still doing it fore some reason.
