Could be another faulty router, are all your phone points connected to a filter? It could be noise on your line as well that can cause this problem. I would phone up your ISP and ask them to run tests on your phone line to make sure everything is ok. Also look on Belkin's website and see if there are any software updates for your router.

Could be what AV are you using? does it happen a certain point through the scan? Not sure what the error is that you are talking about, best thing to do is look through event viewer and see if you can find the error that came up and then post it on here.

I would test the ram with this tool http://hcidesign.com/memtest/ let it run for about 2hours or so. I would still get your ISP to run checks on your line though, it might also be worth contacting Belkin Tech Support and see if they are able to advise you if its a faulty router or something else.
