Could be a blockage in lines some place.

How are your coolant levels?

Like waht sebba said could be blockage somewhere like the radiator, flush eveything out real good. Make sure there are no leaks and try getting a temp gun and go over the cooling system and check for any hot/cold spots.

Could possibly the water pump is having a problem.
