System-building - Oh great, more problems.

General
Well, if it isn't one thing...
I finally got my computer together with a new motherboard (This one, to be specific), I plug my monitor into it with a simple keyboard-mouse setup, it finally starts up without a problem. I check the system specs and see how everything looks, and notice my CPU running at 88 degrees Celsius. I shut it down while I search for a solution on the internet. Thinking I've got it, I turn the computer back on, it powers up as before, and I get nothing on the monitor. It's not reading anything from the computer anymore.
I can't figure this out; everything's plugged in correctly, RAM's in all the way; where could I have gone wrong? Surely the video card couldn't have burned out from a grand total of two minutes of use? And wouldn't the fans on it stop working if the card really were burned out?
I suppose I'll just have to take it in somewhere to get checked, since a simple Google search shows there's a huge list of things that could be wrong.
PC-building is so much harder than I remember...
