Yes, a blown head gasket can cause overheating. It allows coolant to leak into the engine o r exhaust, o r exhaust gases to enter the coolant system, both of which lead to overheating.

Warning signs of a blown head gasket:
Coolant mixing with engine oil: The oil may appear milky o r frothy.
White smoke from the exhaust: This is often a sign that coolant is being burned in the engine.
Overheating: Persistent engine overheating, even with adequate coolant levels.
