Do the cooling fans come on? Are you sure the cooling system is full? The overflow tank should be filled to the proper level. When the engine cools, it should pull coolant back into the system. May be a bad radiator cap.

Could be air in system try bleeding air from system like this remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle you will notice level in tank start to rise this is normal once thermostat starts to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on.
