Don't trust memtest as it often misses corrupt RAM same with the DELL diagnostics.

What Laptop model do you have?
Do you have more than one RAM chip in use? Can you take one out and try the machine with just one chip. Some Dell's have the RAM soldered to the board and some have chip under the keyboard so it may take some poking around but try it with one chip if you can and then try with the other to see if you get different issues.

If you are really stuck and let me know what model laptop you have I can 'lend' you some RAM from our Dell's so you can try it before possibly having to fork out for some new RAM.
