I have did almost everything possible but for some reason my car keeps overheating. Am i missing something?? I have changed the thermostat, water pump, another thermostat, did a head test, a flow test and a radiator pressure test. Ive had the radiator flushed and the mechanic says i didnt need a new radiator, it doesnt leak anywheres but after all this work i get in it and on the gauge it shows the car is running hot which is past half. when you turn the car off i dont hear no bubbling noises, nothings leaking out and i dont smell any new smells. Once again am i overlooking something?? HELP!!

plug in the scanner and read the temp out the coolant sensor
check if fans coming on when needed
you may have a bad sensor or gauge
