Questions about our V1810-48G Switches

We purchased 4 HP V1810-48G (PK.1.4, eCos-2.0, CFE-3.8) switches and connected them in series in our rack.

 

In our original layout, these switches are supposed to be placed in HA (top switch connected to the second, the second switch connected to the third, the third connected to the fourth and lastly a loop from the forth to the first.  This way, if we lose a switch, the swiches on either side of it can still communicate.

 

We enabled Loop Protection for the ports in the switch chain, however we we plug the forth switch into the top the entire network dies instanly.  What do we need to do to put our switches into a HA configuration?  Why isn't Loop Protection detecting the problem, and locking out the offending port until it's needed?

 

Lastly, our switches seem to reboot at various times (with none of the 4 having more than 3 weeks uptime) and we also may already have a bad port.  All four of these switches were just purchased in December.  Is anyone one else having any stability issues with this model?
