Why would one of my belts keep breaking and the car overheat?

[Edit]

Answer

Possible misalignment of items on the belt path, causing wear to the sides of the belt, which would cause it to break. If the water pump was installed using excessive tourqe on one side, this could cause the pump to drag, and cause wear to the belt and overheating.
