As far as I am concerned that temps way to high for an idle video card, if its the cards real temp. Next time you turn the system on try to read the temp as soon as possible to see if starts out near room temp. Even being pushed with a lot of 3D work the temps on my system, video card being a Radeon 5870, rarely exceed 65 degrees C. If the temp is real may be the card has an air flow restriction, say to many cables around the place, or if it has a fan it requires cleaning and a drop of oil. Second point may be minor, I am slightly suspicious of the monitor not coming back after being switched off and on. I have struck some older monitors that will not sync to a high resolution signal when restarted but it would be rare these days.
