de versus des

Why is it "des problèmes" and not "de problèmes"

Bonjour Adelaida,

The negation in this sentence has no impact on the infinitive expression "avoir un problème" (the negation here is on "arrêter de"). Therefore, the use of "des" is correct. 

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
