Did you use proper ESD measures before installing the card? Did you seat it in correctly and without using too much force? Try reseating it first. If that doesn't work, see if the heatsink is attached correctly to the GPU die. Also, check the airflow in the case and especially around the GPU. If all this fails, it seems damaged. You will have to RMA it then.

I believe EVGA cards have a 1 year warranty if not registered within 30 days, but don't quote me on that.

 

My 8800GTX idles at 67c and gets up to 72-74c when gaming. Now that is with the fan on automatic, if I crank it up to 100% it idles in the 50's.

Try freeing up some airflow in your case.
