Try running the bootable version of Seagate Seatools (Seatools for DOS): http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools (http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools) if you want to test for HDD stability.
The Memory Diagnostic tool in Win 7 tests your RAM, for your information... not your HDD.
You might have a RAM issue, run http://www.memtest.org/ (http://www.memtest.org/) for 10 passes and check if any errors come up. Windows 7 already BSODs when you undergo a RAM test... If an issue comes up in MemTestX86+ I would swap RAM sticks/take out one stick of RAM then try again. Repeat until you are error-free.
