I should think that "numerous problems" would be its own
justification ;-)
Remember rule #1: Mind reading is not permitted in this newsgroup.
What problems are you seeing? Definite questions get definite

I've had the system lockup and then refuse to automatically start X
after rapidly switching between run levels 3 and 5: switching the
level before the previous level had been fully started broke
something and I never found out what.
In your case, you'll need to review which services are running in
each level:
$ /sbin/chkconfig --list
is a good place to start. You'll then know what transitions are
taking place between the levels.
