Try it with the aircon switched on next time, if it was off...

Are all the fans working as they should?
What was the temperature gauge doing at the time? If normal, might be as simple as a failed expansion tank cap.
If temp went through the roof then I would be looking at the fans/temp switches on the radiator :y
