Often it will make a horrible screaming sound. This usually begins when the car is started or turned off and later becomes noticable all the time before it fails.

Serious overheating after driving about 5 - 10 minutes is usually due to a failed water pump or the lower reservoir of the radiator being empty (sometime both). A blown head gasket or rust fouling the radiator can produce the same symptoms, but the blown head gasket will usually have other symptoms, too, such as running very roughly, white smoke, even a machine gun like sound from the engine. Rust fouling the radiator or an empty cooling system are pretty easy to spot.
