    I won't get into gaming on a machine from 2015 without a GPU card… :)

    Does the CPU fan spin when you try to turn it on? You say it just overheats, but without access to the BIOS or an OS, how do you tell it's overheating rather than just warming up normally? Is your monitor plugged into the HDMI or DP port on the back of the machine? Do you hear any beeps when trying to boot?

    Fast spin of the fans and no beeps tells us you aren't getting fully into POST. When a system is first turned on the fan starts at full speed, the almost immediately drops to a normal speed when the BIOS fires up and starts the power on self tests. The first thing I'd do, just because it's cheap and might fix things, is to replace the CMOS battery. Your machine is old enough that battery might have failed, which can affect the BIOS load. #26 on this diagram is the holder for that coin cell battery:

    I don't know for sure, but most are CR2032 coin cells. It should be etched on the top of the battery.

    If the technician has been mucking around with the motherboard there's a good chance they got something wrong. Can you pin them down on what they actually did?

    You have pretty much done everything that is simple and cheap… Contact the tech you bought it from to see what they did with it, so you can try to pin down what might be wrong. If they, for instance, flashed a custom BIOS then maybe they will reflash the correct one again for you.

    Basically you are looking at the Nitro and Predator laptops for gaming. There are a bunch of different models, you will just have to see what available in your locale and at what price.
