Check thermostat, could be stuck closed. Also you may need to test your fan to make sure it is comming on. And check the engine coolant temp. Sensor.

I dont understand, if the thermostat is new and working and the fan is coming on, how can it be overheating? It cant be physically overheating you must be talking about the temperature gauge, going up high
