UPDATE 4/10/16
I have this exact same machine for a customer on my bench right now. Doing the same thing. Most of the time it will POST, get half way through the boot and then just shut down. Yesterday we used our new hot air rework gun to do both the GPU and CPU. No positive results. So I'm in the same boat you are. I called Apple to get a flat rate repair because I think it's a logic board but they turned me down due to its age. Straight logic boards are listed at about $550. I'm watching several machine on eBay with things like broken screens to see if I can find a good board. I am also looking at a couple of birdboard level repairs places. I contacted LuoisThe Louis Rossman Group in NYC by he doen't like me so he didn't even bother to respond.
