Do you think that the Laptop was on its way out when it was sold to me?

I purchased a Hp NX 9500(Ithink) Laptop around 6 months ago.  The Cursor froze almost every time I used it, right from day one.  I had to shutdown the Computer each time.  I installed all relevant antivirus etc Cc Cleaner, anti malware, avast(among others)...   

The fans on the laptop worked overtime too.  I resulted to placing the Laptop on a Cooling Rack!!!!! 

The problem being,  I purchased the Laptop from a friend.  I took the laptop back to them and I was advised the Motherboard had burnt out!  I feel that this laptop should not have been sold to me in the first place?  My friend works with Computers and surely should have known there was a problem as they refurbished it for me????

I am so annoyed that I have thrown money away!!

Will it cost too much to fix or is it a lost cause?
