Default Problems with HIGH Water Temp

OK, tonight when I got off work, my Girlfriend tells me that her LS/VTEC Motor is overheating...

When I checked the Water Temp gauge on the CTR Cluster... I noticed it slowly rise...

After driving it around it starts to decrease, but once the car returns to idle, the Temp Raises to an awkardly High Temp...

What could be wrong????

It worked fine from the start and the Motor has about 3000 miles on it.

Hard to say without looking at it. It could be a number of things. First, check your coolant level and see if there is any coolant in the radiator. Next, is the car smoking? It could be as bad as a headgasket. Could be fans not coming on, thermostat is stuck, waterpump going out, bad radiator cap. Just really hard to give a definate answer without any other symptoms.
