Why does the motherboard overheat?

Hi, I have an iphone 7 128gb that turns on and works perfectly but only for a little bit then it reboots and gets on a loophole rebooting over and over and not turning on, i’ve found out that when i power on the device the top part of the motherboard gets extremely hot and that’s the reason it reboots, any reason why that might be happening? thanks!

This appears to be a board level problem. There is no” please bro” solution. I would suggest getting it looked at by a repairer. The more you listen to these “please bro” solutions the more chance your phone will become unrecoverable.

Overheating issues mainly occurs due to heavy battery consumption. Moisture, bad charger,

playing games consume heavy battery can produce overheat.

i know, but i'm not able to do anything on the phone because it will start rebooting a few seconds after getting on, i've disassembled the whole phone and trying to conect just the screen, battery and dock connector has the same issue, that's how i found out which part of the motherboard is overheating.

the battery is a brand new ifixit one, and it gets stuck in a loophole not because of the software, but because the motherboard gets so extremely hot it shuts down the device, that's why i was asking if anyone knew the reason for the extreme overheating
