I did a head gasket change in January this year and a few days ago it started over heating, I was in the highway and had to pull over when it over heat because I hard a warning on the dash board. The moment I did that the engine just cut and its is doing so when it over heats. What can I do to solve this problem

You need to do some basic testing. Is it full of coolant with no air in the system. Is the cooling fan working proper? Dlock test the cooling system with a block test kit you can rent from a parts store check for a failed head or head gasket. Does it over heat only @ hi speed?
