If you turned on your AC Drove for about 10 miles and the thermostat hose broke and then you replaced the thermostat gasket and hose why would the gasket cover break again when you turn on the AC?

That sounds like coincidence to me. While the AC condenser may cause the radiator to run slightly warmer, the vehicle cooling system shold be engineered to operate well within the normal temperature range with or without the AC running. It's probably more of a function of vehicle age/miles than anything else.

As you drove down the road your car just turned off?
Could be for a number of reasons. Is it overheating? Some vehicles are designed to shut down automatically when the motor overheats in order to avoid blowing a gasket.
What if coolant leaked into oil and car now won't start?
You have a blown head gasket, cracked head, or both. The engine must be taken apart and head gasket & head possibly replaced. If you drove it in this condition for a long period of time you may have totally destroyed this engine and it will need a complete overhaul.

How do you repair an engine with a blown head gasket?
The head or heads will have to be remove and inspected for cracks or warpage. You then replace the gasket and reinstall the head. Drain the oil and change the filter. Replace the thermostat and pour in fresh coolant. Unless you ran it hot or drove it for a long period of time in this condition you may be ok. If you just kept driving it then you will have damage to the rings and bearings an the engine may need an overhaul. Really depends on how long the engine was driven with a blown gasket.

One man drove his car for 2 weeks with a broken head gasket before he blew his engine. Another drove it for 3 weeks. A head gasket costs several dollars if you can change it yourself. A new engine over a thousand. One mechanic can change a head gasket in an hour for $ 100. Other mechanics are no where near as good and take longer. It may be more in your area.
