Wireless Access Points, Network

Hi, I have wired 7 access points with Cat 5 and configured each with a separate IP address. They work fine for a while, anywhere between 3 - 8 hours and then all lights on router and switch start blinking like mad and you lose all connections to the Internet. I have replaced the switch and the broadband router but still the same.

This is typical description of network loop. Do you have redundant links in your network?
In some cases it can be caused by bad network card.
