Doesn't boot up immediately

I am facing this weird problem. I bought this laptop from my friend and it was perfectly fine. Then i installed a software from an unauthorized website and lapot got shutdown.. then I reset the MacBook and it was fine.

Now the problem is that the macbook doesn't turn on immediately. Like it's not turning on right now but at the morning, I will click it two or three times and it will be on.. once it get turns on it works well but once I turn it off, it doesn't turn on easily.. what is this weird problem?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software when it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which will be created again automatically as needed.
