No effect whatsoever. A "higher" runlevel is not necessarily "farther from 
the ground" and thus less stable in any way. Also note that the X Window 
System (aka "X" but never "X Windows", there is no "s" in it) is just a 
GUI... you may find X unstable but the box itself is fine.

Are you having problems with the whole server, or just with X?

Different runlevels *can* be more or less stable than others, depending 
entirely on what services are running in each. Use "chkconfig --list" to 
see most of the init services and which runlevel each operates on. Also use 
"ps auxw | less" to see the processes operating at that time.
