Default Overheating problem.... did search already

Ok i have had some overheating issues with my car this winter. I have replaced the thermostat with a OEM honda. and it has been running fine for the past month since i replaced the thermostat. then one day driving home it started to overheat. I have no clue why. Headgasket is good nice clean oil and coolant. radiator cap is holding pressure. any suggestions?

I dont think you searched hard enough..

however

How do you know your headgasket is good?
The thermo may have went bad...

let your car warm up to normal temp, and then after a few minutes, feel the radiator hose that leads to you're thermostat.. if the hose is cold, the thermo. is stuck (or not opening for whatever reason)... if its warm/hot, i would suggest checking the water pump.
