over heating Gs 300

first let me say, i dont know much about cars but im learning so here is my situation. my car is overheating, and when i turn off the ignition i can hear the coolant bubbling. ive noticed the fan that keeps the radiator cool is not coming on. can that be my problem? ive filled it with coolant but its still overheating. can anyone give me some clues or advice or something? I REALLY NEED MY CAR TO WORK ACCORDINGLY

The fan that cools the radiator is always turning. Its a clutch fan and is connected to the waterpump and belt driven.
There are many reasons our cars can overheat:

Bad clutch fan
Bad or leaking waterpump
Air in the cooling system after doing cooling component replacement
Bad radiator cap
bad condensor fan (small fan)
Bad relay for condensor fan
leaking radiator
Leaking hoses
Blown Head gasket
Bad thermostat

Hope that helps
