Need help, am lost

Ok, I just got my s-10, its an 01 with 26,000 miles on it, 4.3 liter v-6, superchargerd, with headers, and customized out the wazoo, anyways, when i start it i head a loud screaching noise from the side with the supercharger, i have noticed that after sitting still for 15 minutes the temp gauge reads near 260, and i have had trouble starting it now, just this morning i revved it to about 4000 and i got white smoke puring out the tailpipes, can anyone help me?

get a bar of soap and run it on the belt (BE CAREFUL)

you have a blown head gastket but your worried about the belt? Just replace them when you tear into the motor and you will not have to worry about it. for peice of mind you might consider checking each pully to make sure that none are locked up
