What specs does your laptop have?
I run 8.1 on my laptop, and I never have less than 15 tabs open in Chrome, plus about ten in Firefox at the same time (work stuff). I also create and edit audio on the machine, running some pretty demanding VSTs and other stuff that goes substantially beyond what the majority of people do on their computers.
8.1 runs perfectly stable for me, and it boots up faster than 7 (using a SSD drive in both cases). My only issue were the absurdly large window bars, but I found a way to make them thin. I don't use a budget laptop, though it's not top of the line anymore, either (only 8 GB, i7-4700HQ at 2.5ghz, 1920x1080/17", 500 GB SSD, 1 TB HD, dedicated video card, but it isn't used outside of graphics-intensive programs).
What you wrote in your post above makes me think of faulty RAM. The quick memory checks don't always discover this -- you'd have to run a memory checker over night for good results.
