If your rad is top mounted, it is like you said the pump could be dead unless you are like my roommate and re-pasted his pump because temps were getting hot and neglected to see the caked on dust all over his rad -he is a engineer BTW-
If your rad is side mounted, make sure the hoses connect to the bottom otherwise there could be a air bubble blocking your pump. The bubble will get larger over time as some of the fluid will escape through evaporation and when the bubble reaches the pump you will get thermal throttling.
