overheating?

ok i was just driving normally and all of a sudden my heat gauges goes past the half....it goes past and goes back to half...it did that a few times....and when i was driving slowly or under 3000rpm....it still goes up sometimes.....even at a red light it went up one...this started happening after i turned my sound system off..so the lights wern't as dim....
but then all of a sudden the heat goes up....is this bad?
i searched the forums and found some similar things but not exactly...
it only went 1 bar past half...not all the way...
the fan turns on right away after i turn my car off.....it used to never do that...but it started happening lately.....does anyone know whats happening?
i did a oil change not more then 2 months.....don't see any leaks...

Hmm, check your fluid levels. Oil/coolant.

When was the last time that your car had a radiator flush? May be it's about time?
