Maybe a faulty thermostat or a possible block in the radiator or cooling system. Also check the fan is working and the cap is maintaining pressure.Rad. CapsIt sounds like the pressure cap ( radiator cap ) isn't holding pressure and when the coolant heats up & expands it just flows into the reservoir. Also if the thermostat is plugged or faulty you will have similar problems IE. too much pressure and overheating. Your problem sounds like both at once.
What causes overheating when radiator and thermostats checked and OK and fan OK?
There are a number of things that could cause the overheating issue. If the overheating happens immediately, it's probably the water pump. If this happens only when it's hot, see if it happens only when the AC is on because then it could be the an auxiliary AC cooling fan that has gone bad.

Why is it not safe to open the radiator cap when engine is overheating?
When the cooling system is overheated, the coolant is at pressure. Removing the radiator cap will release the pressure, and allow the coolant to boil, probably splashing you with boiling-hot radiator fluid. Your arms and hands will certainly be burned, and there's a good chance that the boiling coolant will splash your face. You wouldn't like it if that happens.
