Default new civic owner, car died and any tips or advice is appreciated

so i just purchased a 99 civic with a b18b1 swapped in it with a oem chipped and tuned ecu, car ran really good i daily’d for three weeks before it completely died on me while i was driving and saw the temp gauge reading really hot, i popped the hood checked for leaks and my coolant reservoir and i had coolant but noticed it was getting dark, i let it cool off and tried starting it, it took 3 times of me turning the ignition switch and getting nothing then the 4th time it started right up (car started to have this problem before it somewhat overheated one me) sounded fine returned back to a healthy temp and drove it not even two blocks before dying on me again and draining the coolant in my reservoir theres no leaks or ruined hoses and it has been a week since then and it has not been wanting to start the car lights turn on the cluster but the car just makes one loud click when you try to start it im not sure if it could be the starter or multiple things causing the car not to start, would appreciate any sort of tips or advice

Sounds like it overheated and died.
