What can be what? Overheating would occur when the radiator cracks due to lack of coolant. Severe overheating would damage the engine causing non starting or poor running.

For radiator to crack, it usually starts with low coolant level over a period of time.

You need a compression test to confirm if the head gaskets are bad.
