Computer won't boot after crashing after running a server.

I received an early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" from a guy who wasn't using it any more. It was pretty slow and seemed to have issues, but I can't remember exactly what the problem was. My dad and I replaced the hdd to a ssd and upgraded the RAM. We got the parts off of OWC (other world computing), because we had had good experiences with them in the past. I did notice some sticky residue on back panel when we removed it. I cleaned that up as much as I could. Once we put a fresh installation of the highest supported macOS on it, it booted up pretty well and worked fine. Then I tried to run some Minecraft Server software on it. It ran for a while, and then crashed. I have't been able to boot it on all the way since. I have reset pRAM and something else too I think, but it didn't work. What should I try next? FYI I am open to trying any repair/teardown of the computer because I have nothing to lose. I have tools from all of my iPhone repairs, but I lack lots of experience in the computer hardware department.

Thank you for reading. Feel free to ask questions. The Model # is A1286.

Are you able to boot up in Safe Mode? Restart the system and press Shift (⇧) key, did the system fully boot up?

Reference: Mac startup key combinations

Let us know!

I can't remember if I have done this or not. I will try it when I get home later today.

I tried to boot in safe mode, but I got a blank grey screen after having a white loading screed with the apple logo...

@cooltool - Not good ;-{ You logic board has a major failure!

This series had issues with the GPU logic, so now you'll need to think which way to go

1 - Get a replacement logic board (either another 2011 or better get a 2012 board which will also work with a small modification).

2 - Get a replacement system (used or new)

Is that 100% for sure? I had it working before, but it crashed when I ran a Minecraft server on it and never booted up again. Would that cause this issue? Also is micro-soldering a new component on an option? Is that what you mean by getting a replacement system?

@cooltool - This series was never able to run these heavy games either directly or as a server. The GPU and PCH logic are stressed beyond what they can handle.

I had one client try using the system as a code complier server it crapped out too!

Even my own 2011 system died on me a few times (four logic boards) until I jumped to a 2012 board.
