Check the radiator itself, make sure there is water in there. How long did ago did you fix and fill your tank? If it wasn't long ago you could have gotten an air pocket in the system and that will sometime cause it to over heat. Other than that you just have to check the usual suspects, like the thermometor, the fan(s) and the water pump and hoses.
