Why is the engine overheating belts persistently squealing and heat gone?

Why is the engine overheating belts persistently squealing and heat gone?
To give some additional information, it is a 2000 Hyundai Elantra and this morning after warming up for 20 minutes the belts still squealed the entire drive to work (about a half hour). I thought I smelled burning rubber at one point. The heat went out and only resumed if I stopped it and started it again a few minutes later. The power windows go up and down but really slowly. The lights on the dashboard were very dim. Then right before I got to work I saw that my engine was overheating. Thermostat replaced in June. Could it be one of the belts needs replaced?
