Try reinstalling the latest driver, that might fix it. Also if concerned about temps a Aftermarket cooler and some AS5 will knock temps down pretty far.

It quite possibly is fried, I had a similar problem back in the day with a 9800xt - i would leave the pc off for an hour or so reinstall latest drivers and hope everythings back to normal. If that doesn't work, something is probably fried on the card.

**UPDATE**

Only dx10 games work. Crysis in dx9 crashes immediately but in dx10 it works fine. same for the dmc4 demo. the gpu tests of vantage work fine.

What should i do now ?

Uninstall drivers, use driver cleaner in safe mode, reboot and reinstall drivers.
