Unfortunately, SeaTools for DOS need to burn the .iso to cd/dvd/usb, and Safe mode won't allow you to install SeaTools for Windows. Is there another computer that you can burn the .iso?
Can you run a System restore in safe mode? Also, can you upload the dump file (.dmp) locate in C:\Windows\Minidump
Investigate your Event Viewer see if you can gather more info related to the crashed.

Download Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)
Once download, unzip the file and burn the .iso file to a CD. Restart Windows, go to BIOS and change the boot order to the CD/DVD drive. You don't need to boot to Windows, Memtest will run on the CD.
