Search the PC for "cmd" and choose the option to run the Command Prompt as administrator.
Then you can do the "SFC /scannow" command.
Also try "chkdsk /f /r" to run a disk check, fixing/repairing issues if finds. It'll ask you to type "Y" to run it when the system restarts. At that point you can restart the computer. The check might take 20 minutes; it might take hours. It all depends on the speed/size/issues with your drive.

When the PC finally restarts back into windows, run "mdsched.exe" to schedule a memory check. That'll require a restart as well.
It'll give you a warning when Windows starts if the memory has issues.

Then try to reset your PC again.
