When this happened to me it was the water pump that
was not pumping.  Were the belts all OK??  Was the
system bled of ALL of its air?  Did the thermostat fail
CLOSED??   Leak in the hoses??

Good luck, could be any number items.  I suspect that
since you said that the radiator fan did NOT come on that
maybe the HOT coolant was not even getting to the
radiator. This is what happened to me  Malcolm
