Ah, now you have it right.

Windows 8.1 is stable, very stable, and it shouldn't be blamed for the trangressions of the applications running on it. You are running applications that are either newer less stable versions or older versions that while stable on Vista don't play well on 8.1.

It's also possible that you have some slightly faulty hardware that fails after extended use (heat buildup, ...). Again, this is not Windows fault and your Vista uses different hardware making is useless for comparison.
