Windows 8.1 bootup problem-windows files are loading.

Hi folks,
I have windows 7 on my computer and bought the windows 8 upgrade which I installed on a different partition, did have to put windows 7 on it first. So its a multiboot system with windows xp, 2 copies of windows 7 and one copy of windows 8. xp is is the active partition and also has the MBR. Any probs with MBR I have sorted out with Easy BCD utility
Since I upgraded windows 8 to 8.1 sometimes I get a message at boot up on windows 8 saying "windows files are loading" it then presents a OS menu with continue to windows 7 being one of the options and troubleshoot another option.
Clicking troubleshoot will get me to an option to repair my computer and after it says diagnosing windows 8 will start ok at restart, but maybe a few weeks later same problem will surface.
Just wondering has anyone else the same problem with windows 8?
Thanks for any help
