Can't testify to Facebook, but no problems accessing either Yahoo News or Yahoo mail.

maybe they figured it out?

The fox has been good to me over the years, but I do, on occasion find problems in the areas you mention. Not often enough to make me change...
Okay figured out the problem. I've been having problems with this computer rebooting at random times including when it's trying to POST. The computer clock was reset. Made it the right date and time, no problems getting on these sites now, thought I was hacked somehow. Still have to figure out the random rebooting including when starting the cmputer up and rebooting before post even!
Issues like that are often caused by intermittent bios initialization of memory or various peripheral boards (video, sound, et.). Try reseating all the boards in their respective slots.

THe only two boards are the two video cards in SLI. I tried both boards seperately, same deal. I'm thinking power supply or motherboard. I've got a ps coming and I have a spare board same as in the case. Gonna try ps first. I'd reflash bios but I'm afraid it would reboot in the middle then I'd be completely fed.
Did you reseat the mem boards though?
I'd try that first, and if there are multiple, try them individually...may have a faulty sdram or bad connection issue there...

yeah I tried reseating all 4. Good idea to try taking them out and trying individually. I did swap out the cpu also but no dice. Another issue besides the rebooting is sometimes I'll just get his peed fans running when I press the power button but no HD lights or testing of the dvd cd floppy ect. It will just sit with the fans running at high speed. Sometimes pressing the reset button will get it going other times no dice.
Yup...a mem board initialization prob can cause that...try each one in slot one individually through a couple, three boots, if all pass, then try adding one to slot two, etc...
If nothing else, you've eliminated mem as the cause.
Also, what PS are you using? Never buy a cheap ass PS.

It's a diablotek rpm 850 watt. It tested good with my power supply tester but I ordered another anyway, you can never have too many spare PS when you have 6 desktops in the house. I think we're onto something here. I took all the memory modules out except one, it was still rebooting. Took that one out and put another in, hasn't rebooted, ran windows memory tester it was fine, I'll try them one at a time. Let you know later or tomorrow how it worked out. Thanks again Oswald for all the help as usual, you have some great suggestions.
Glad to be of help. Troubleshooting 101 for me. I have three basic rules I use, that have never failed me...applicable to all troubleshooting, regardless of tech involved.
Rule 1) If something's changed then something's changed. Role back the change, then determine how to reinstitute the change without the problem.
Rule 2) Comes in two parts...
a) The questions you ask are far more important than the answer you seek. If you're asking the wrong questions, it will take far longer to find the answer.
b) Lateral thinking. If one likens solving a problem to digging a hole, you have to know when it's time to stop digging the same hole deeper, and begin digging a new hole. Part b is absolutely contingent on part a.
Rule 3) Brute force (with a nod to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)...Eliminate everything it cannot be; whatever you're left with, no matter how absurd, must be the answer.
We're between rule 2 and 3 here...there is blending between the rules allowed, encouraged, and often necessary.
Edited to add...if that 1st sdram is sketchy in slot 1, it may (may, mind you) be okay in slot 4...but you'll have to verify each in turn, then try adding it to slot 4 after verifying all the others...as in running one to three for a time, then try adding the iffy one to slot 4...ideally though, I'd replace it.

It's getting to the point where i think the A1 slot/bus is bad. Is that possible that a memory bus could go bad?? ANY of the modules put into that slot(A1) either by itself or together with another module in B1 leads to rebooting. Have two modules in A2 and B2 and seems to be fine. A single in A2 also is fine. Looking like A1 is bad. I've never had that happen on a motherboard before if it's possible.Glad to be of help. Troubleshooting 101 for me.

Nope just rebooted again. No rhyme or reason. These modules tested good 3 different ways. Random reboot shot down what I thought. Onto PS
So modules in A2 alone, or A2 & B2 will eventually cause the reboot issue to recur?
Couple other things to try...eliminate the dual video. If there's onboard video on the MB, reduce to that, otherwise, go down to a single video card...get down to absolute base operations and build from there....primary video, single mem sdram...I'd even suggest replacing the SATA cable to the HD, as well as trying another HD power connector from the PS...but one at a time, of course, to determine where the culprit is.
We're definitely operating under rule 3 here now...but yeah...to me it's looking like MB more than PS. What's the MB brand?

Your CMOS battery (little round coin cell on the motherboard probably) is dying or dead.
This battery preserves your motherboard settings and the time of day when the computer is turned off.
If the battery is low, the computer can boot up into a "messed up" configuration, crash during POST and reboot.
The best evidence pointing to this is if your computer time is way off.
Try replacing the battery. It's probably a CR2032 (can be had at Radio Shack).

Dooh I didn't even think of that. It only did that once but I guess that might be the culprit, I hope. It's an Asus P5N-D. I already did try one video card at a time. When I get home, I'll pull the battery out of the spare board I have and put it in this one.
Facebook has always been "goofy"!
On a more serious note - have you considered a "thermal problem"? Is one of the case fans running too slowly and letting something overheat? That can cause random shutdowns.
