Windows 8.1 boot errors

Hi, I've recently installed windows 8.1 x64 in my system, it ran smoothly for few weeks during which I also prepaired a Norton ghost backup. Now 3days ago it started normally but on restarting it says "Your PC has ran into an error and needs to be blah blah.. Kernal _Data_In page_error" after restarting and showing same for few times, I tried recovering through ghost and it also shows an error halfway "Error ED800012". Finally, frustrated I reinstalled windows and today It is doing same thing.

What I've tried

Refreshing
Startup Repair
System Recovery Point (but it shows no recovery point exists!)
Chkdsk of drive which reports corruption in few files, other drives are normal
SFC /scannow which says some files are corrupted and can't be repaired now
/Bootrec /fixmbr, rebuildbcd and whatnot!

It's total frustation now as of current it shows BSoD and error 0x0000185/0x0c0000f etc etc

I have googled all without results can you suggest an option (not including buying a new HDD or Installing Windows 7 :p )
Thank You

Did you have a look with whocrashed what the bluescreens are about? Maybe it gives a more specific problem.Look under "Crash Analysis Tools".

Did you check your hdd with the tool from the manufacturers site or HDTune? Look at the smart values and do an error scan.

May be good to know what your hardware is,

Download hwinfo32,
http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html
open it,click run,close the top window which is the system summary,click save report at the left top,in the next window at the bottom check=⓪ "short text report" after that next,you'll get to see what is in your pc,copy that by clicking "copy to clipboard" and right click and paste in you next post.It's of course up to you to post it or not.

I can't even boot to Windows 8.1 by any possible method, so no point in using whocrashed. I checked my HDD with Hard Disk Sentinel which displays 100% health. I even replaced my HDD but the problem persists, only way to get through it is to reinstalll windows once a week :( which is not remotely feasible. I don't prefer windows 7 so please suggest something else.

Which hardware?
Could be a hardware or software incompatibility.Maybe even needs a bios update.
Your windows dvd is a good one?
If you where fine at first maybe you added a program that does this? Did you install something just before making the norton back-up?
You reinstall by using that back-up or using the windows dvd?

My Specs Are -
Intel i5-4570 @ 3.2 GHz
Asus B85-MG Mono
Asus GTX 760
Corsair Vengeance 1x8 GB @ 1600 MHz
Seagate 2TB Barracuda @7200 rpm
Corsair CX 500

My Motherboard contains UEFI Bios, which is not a bit old but an advanced Bios. Windows DVD is intact. I had the system running for an year and no problem, no additional program installed before making Norton Ghost. I tried to recover using Ghost but I was unsuccessful so I reinstalled 8.1 from installation DVD.
