A little knowledge goes a long way. There is nothing inherently unstable about the PC platform. I avoid prebuilt machines because they load up a bunch of crap software and inevitably cut corners on components somewhere.

Usually instability can be tracked to 1)bad/incorrect spec ram 2) Excess heat or 3) undergunned power supplies.
