Abstract: We obtain some nonexistence results for complete noncompact stable hypersurfaces with nonnegative constant scalar curvature in Euclidean spaces. As a special case we prove that there is no complete noncompact strongly stable hypersurface $ M$ in $ \mathbb{R}^{4}$ with zero scalar curvature $ S_2$, nonzero Gauss-Kronecker curvature and finite total curvature (i.e. $ \int_M\vert A\vert^3<+\infty$).
