Sounds like it overheated the onboard graphics. What do you have for cooling? Let it cool for a while, pop open the case, and once you do that, then reset the cmos jumper. If that does not work, try popping in your new video card when it comes in. But if the issue does not clear up, even if your new video card solves it, I think I would RMA the motherboard so that they send you a new one. After all, you want to make sure you have a good part and that you avoid any potential problems down the road. Mostly you go through the manufacturer, but I think within 30 days if the manufacturer won't work with you too much usually your retailer will.
