Verily I say unto thee, that Randy Vice spake thusly:

Well I'm fully up2date here too, and 100% rock solid.
And that's on an AMD64 system with a mix of 64 and 32 bit libraries,
packages from 25 different repos, fglrx (ATI) proprietary drivers, half
a dozen commercial Linux games, Cedga running half a dozen commercial
Windows games, proprietary software such as VMWare running Windows XP,
and my own collection of custom built packages.
If there was a b0rk vector in there somewhere, pure statistics would
suggest I'd have hit it.

/var/log/messages would be a good start.
Given that you say downgrading the kernel doesn't help, it's unlikely to
be a driver issue (if, as you say, all was stable before).
Are you running anything weird on the system?
Oh, and like Ed already said ... define "unstable"
