This is a fairly low end unit. Is this new? If so, return it

What GPU are you pairing this with? Do you only have one DIMM (Memory stick)?
I can help find a better unit.
 

It's a few years old but worked ever since 

RTX2060S from gigabyte

And I use 2x8gb corsair 3200mhz

Does the CX600 even have two 8 pin CPU connectors ? The PC might refuse to POST without both CPU_PWR headers being plugged into a PSU.

It doesn't and I am not sure if that's the reason but I tried to google for it and nothing came up

Thanks. I suggest these units:
AG650F - 70 USD
AG750F - 95 USD
Rev D.F 850 -  120 USD

The second 8PIN connector is optional iirc

Either way this is a low end unit and would be best to switch it out.

Thing is I just switched to my old system (Same psu and gpu just different mbd and cpu) and it works.

So I either plugged stuff wrong or there is a problem with new cpu /mbd?

What are your old system specs? 

Check to make sure:

  • CPU is fully seated and correctly installed
  • DIMMs are fully seated and slots are free of debris

Thats my old sys

CPU in the new one is double and triple checked and DIMMs should be fine as well

126K + Z690 A Pro is just too hungry of a combo for that unit. CX600 is known to have issues with delivering stable power
T4 in PSU Tierlist CX 2012 <=600W [green-label]

I highly doubt the CPU or Motherboard is at fault, in which case an RMA (or if retailer warranty is still up) is your best bet.
