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.

I have run a memory check overnight twice it comes back fine. The first thing I did was run hardware checks as I couldn't believe all the problems I've been having it was ME all over again. I've talk to numerous gurus as I'm not a novice to this stuff they tell me it's Windows 8.1 and to go get a real Operating system like Windows 7. I've checked for malware viruses, done clean installs of the programs crashing even Windows explorer will crash at random. I've tried everything I could think to fix this and nothing has worked.
Specs are I5-3230M @ 2.60gz 6GB RAM, 750GB Hard Drive SATA 3 64 BIT Windows 8.1 Edition. Intel 4000 HD graphics.
My Vista PC is Q6600, 6GB , 630GB Hard Drive SATA II 64 Vista Home Edition.
I've tweaked some by turn off performance hogs no difference. No blue screens of deaths, no errors other than crash reports in event log. It's a mystery why Windows 8.1 wont play nice.
