Well I would say your only options would be to either get an new card, or buy a new heatsink for the card.

Before you do that, check all electrical plug connections. It would not be the first time that the heat generated in a computer box has caused over time a connection to be pushed out. It is unlikely, but you never know.

Don't run the computer without that fan spinning. If you have an integrated card use it temporarily. Dealing with heat and electronics is always bad.
