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.

Ok i got the fan spinning but i had to spin it for 1 min, and warranty is still valid so i'm gonna send it back for repairs n stuff

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.
