When I drive my jeep the temperature light slowly moves toward going high then it will surge way over the high temperature line and the check gauges light comes on and the car runs hot I already changed the thermostat and the water pump and it still does the same thing but I wanna know should I change the radiator or do u think its something wrong with the computer

Double check the thermostat might be defective though its new and if you wish you can flush out the sysyem or replace the radiator.

If it continues get it block and pressure tested
