I tried to run Memory Diagnostic Tool from Admin Tools but it crashed. Should I try it in another mode?

Do the chkdsk command first.

to run Memory Diagnostic Tool :
Boot your machine and tap F8 multiple times (once every half second). Now you see a menu with "safe mode", "safe mode networking" etc.
Also a option "repair your computer". Select it, follow instructions. Then select Memory Diagnostic Tool . Works?

I tried it from Boot and the same thing happens. The screen goes black, and HDD stops, then nothing - left it for 2-3 mins but laptop acts as though its alseep (power light on, screen backlit but black, no systems running).

So Memory Diagnostic Tool doesn't work from "repair your computer"?
Do you have a win7 install dvd to run it? Create a system repair disc and boot from it. System Repair Disc - Create

f8 "repair your computer"->memory diagnotics tool... asks you to reboot and on the fly modifies the bootmenu. It runs the same program as within windows!! So both fail

Yes create a system repair disc. And boot from it. You know how to change the boot order in BIOS? Be sure it only boots from DVD!! So temporary disable boot from harddisk! I must be sure it runs memory diagnostics from cd/dvd

Or try http://www.memtest86.com/
But I think the tool not running is just one of your problems!? sfc gives errors as well. And windows explorer crashes sometimes. No virus?? Do you have a good virusscanner?

You have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit ..what language? You have a valid windows licence? Have a look at a sticker on laptop.. Certificate Of Authority (COA) sticker is it.
