Does the car start again after its cold? If so, then the starter needs to be replaced. Once it gets hot, it builds too much resistance and draws too many amps.

Ok. That's not what I expected. Without any tools or knowledge I cant tell you where to go from here, except to a good shop. It could be an engine ground problem or an ignition problem, or other weird things in between. Electrical is very hard to diagnose especially over the internet. Just don't buy any more starters. That's not the problem
