What kind of unstable? Does it always boot ok, but fall over later on, or
when running particular apps? That might point to a heat issue. If it
doesn't boot reliably you'll have to try the usual stuff like trying one
stick of RAM at a time, messing with the BIOS settings, and sacrificing
chickens to the Upgrade Gods.

I know the original poster didn't give many clues, but it probably is heat.
Although I love my SN85G4v2, I've concluded that heat is a really big
issue for it. It's difficult to keep it running at a reasonable
temperature by the time you put a decent video card in there and a
large, fast SATA disk.
Still, it would be prudent for them to update their BIOS and run the
nVidia System Tool (or other enviro utility) to check out the temps...
