As far as I understand, you overclocked your GPU and it broke?

Overclocked it so much it bunt off the number. Now it sees spots and flickers constantly?
The answer is clearly buy a new graphics card and try not to overclock the next one to breaking point.

hows the cooling of your pc?
are there any fans mounted in the case?
is your PSU strong enough to supply the voltage used by 2x4GB DDR3, a 4Core CPU, 1 or more harddisks, and indeed by the powerhungry GPU?
if any chip heats up, then it needs a HIGHER voltage to maintain the same clockspeed. double the heat != 4*more power consumption (yes, i used the != so you cannot bitch about it, we ALL know thats not the correct formula blabla)...
if you cannot touch the active/passive mounted CPU cooler (the metal part close to the core), then obviously your pc suffers on heating up.
long story short:
disassemble your whole beast, then CLEAN IT, blow away dust/hairs (used in clothes, hairs usually keep you warm? same happens in a pc btw), reassemble it, and pray that you didnt break any parts of it.
be careful: touch any grounded/earthed metal parts in the house, before you grab the screwdriver, you might want to get rid of statical power, which can (and will if you dont do so) destroy any sensible eletrical devices.
erm. why i tell you that shit we all <3 to ignore when (not) reading the manuals? maybe coz i have done that procedure countless times already, and saved myself some trouble.
incase you hesitate to do all that, ask a friend who is common to that stuff, he'll like to help. if not, something is wrong in the world lol

Actually, Try to re-download your drivers:
Try these:
the 280.19 driver
OR
the 275.33 driver
Please try them. Should be OK.
You say your card is new, only a month old. That means dust isn't the problem, a new fan will take care of the biggest Carbole (a ball of dust).
If not, Clean your whole case, included the inner parts.

You fuck up your card enough that even the printed serial number burned off, and you still expect the support to help you with this? As soon as you overclock any card or cpu, all support and warranty is void, or in other words, you burnt your money.
You should still try to resore the normal clock (why do you still run it with higher clock when you already see the damage?) If youre damn lucky, it will work normal again, but i doubt it will.
