If your car overheats and then wants to die or runs rough when trying to restart you may have warped or cracked your head and/or blown your head gasket. If the head is cracked there will probably be oil in your engine compartment or condensed coolant. If the head is warped and/or your head gasket blown coolant will probably be in your oil. Pull your dipstick and look at it; oil and coolant mixed together will have a thick milky appearance. If you don't find these symptoms compression test your cylinders just to make sure. It could be that you have two smaller problems at the same time ( for example a frozen thermostat and a bad fuel pressure regulator ) but my first check would be the head.
