Hi guys, merry christmas to everyone.

I've been having this issue since I installed a RX 5500 XT 8GB. First, I thought the problem was because of the TV (still might be).
So, today I attempted to turn on the PC with the TV on, it didn't boot.
After that, I turned the TV off and started the PC again, CPU fans were working, but the keyboard&mouse were with their LED off (that's how I see if the PC is booting or not during this issue).
So I guess the CPU/Motherboard/RAM are working, but only the GPU is turned off. Since I placed my hand on the GPU fans, that is confirmed.

I have to power it off and on until I see the mouse LED on, which takes about 6/8 times.
What could be the main problem? I wanted to test on another TV but this is the only one I got for now.

Specs:
AliExpress Motherboard ZSUS H81
i3-4330 3.5 Ghz
2x8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
RX 5500 XT 8GB
Kolink 650W PSU

OBS: GPU thermal paste hasn't been repasted (Bought the GPU from a second hand store).
EDIT: I tried resetting the CMOS battery, didn't fix the issue.
