Engine Cooling problem
2002 Lincoln LS V8 84000 miles

Everytime I start the car, after about 5-10 minutes, there is an engine hum, like a fan, and then the heat indicator light goes above the middle range. Sometimes it goes up a little and then will go down, but more often lately, it goes up to the top and then all the bells start to shut the car down. The thing is is that the car is NOT really overheating. Please advise.
