Unity does not start after installing the fglrx drivers on 12.10

I updated from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 a couple of days back.

My machine is a Dell Inspiron 15R with a Radeon HD 7670M Graphic Driver.

When I was using 12.04, I was able to install the propriety driver using the notification you usually get. But after the upgrade, the graphic driver is not getting installed.

I am not getting the notification to install the driver
And I also tried to follow the steps given - What is the correct way to install proprietary ATI Catalyst Video Drivers (fglrx) directly from AMD?
- I tried the legacy as well as the usual installation procedure
- Both ways I failed and my graphics went to the fallback, disabling Unity

Note: My laptop is getting heated to 80 degrees and can shut down at any point. Please help.
