You probably didn't get all the air out.

Do a search on coolant flush, or bleeding air out of coolant, etc.

Air in system is superheating the coolant.

Allow it to cool, and bleed the coolant system via the burp hole.

Check the level of fluid in the radiator while you do it.

Used distilled water and good coolant or you'll gunk up your radiator.
