Did you try flushing your coolant system/radiator? Maybe some kind of blockage somewhere?

Uhh...well, yes, if you don't have enough coolant in the system then generally it can overheat, since air can get stuck in the water pump.

After you fill it, if it still seems to be overheating try taking the radiator cap off while it's running to let air out of the system. You could also try bypassing the heater core because if it's plugged it can cause that sort of problem.
