I was watching a movie when my computer restarted all of a sudden and wouldn't boot back up.

I opened it, watched the POST sequence and this is it:
0.1
8.3 - ATX power supply ready
9.C
9.E
9.F

I can't find the last three in the boot sequence, I suppose they represent the shutdown sequence.

So, what is this? Is my PSU dead? Cpu gone? Anything I can do about it?

Sounds very much like an issue with the psu, it could also be an issue with the memory, I would try to reseat the memory and see what hapens. I know that the 9.f code does refer to the psu.

I tried resetting the CMOS twice, no result. I'll probably have to buy another PSU. I thought Antec True380SP would last more than 6 months :/

Ouch that sucks!!! before you go buy a new one, they sell PSU testers, I have one here that I picked up for like $8.
