OVERHEATING !!!!! PLEASE HELP !!!!!! S80 2000

I recently purchased a used 2000 S80 T6. I have had it for a few days now, and I absolutely love it, it drives and feels wonderful. Here is my problem. I have never been above normal (half way) on my temp gauge, but today as I had my girlfriend wait in the car while I went into Blockbuster (the car remained on) it proceeded to overheat. I don't mean just a little, I mean "turn of the car, gauge is in the red" overheat. I let it cool down for a while and then proceeded to drive it again. After watching it for a while, I concluded that while driving and brief stops (traffic lights) the car was fine, but if you stopped for a while (5-10 minutes) the temp would start to rise. This led me to believe that the problem was only that the radiator fan sucked (or did not suck, actually), was crappy. Has this happened to anyone else, what should I do? Is my diagnosis right? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
