Was the ECU that did not succeed in starting the car the original ECU?

Possible the car overheated while it was idling and ECU could have gotten damaged. If the new ECU is starting the car and the old one isn't I think you found your issue. Make sure you inspect your cooling system as it must have an issue.

bt no overflow from the reservoir tank,if car overheats,some coolant should have come out from the overflow.

Not necessarily.
It's very unusual to lose an ECU. It's also very unusual to be able to switch the ECUs easily without reprogramming the immobilizer. Is the car stock?
