Windows 7 / 8 file corruption on boot

[Zarun]

I built a new system and have a Corsair SSD with Windows 7 Ultimate and a Samsung 840 SSD with Windows 8.1 pro. The idea was to boot into each drive when I wanted to use that particular OS. My system has an ASUS motherboard. When I boot into Windows 8.1 everything seems fine. When I boot back into Windows 7 about 90% of the time it says there are errors on my non-OS drives. It runs a disk check on each drive and a few other processes and usually finds a bunch of corrupted files. The corrupted files mess up a bunch of my application data. The types of messages I get are "Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, "") from record segment 385148". Any suggestions? I am considering just loading both OSs on one drive and dual booting that way but it seems like the method I am using should work without corrupting files especially on all of my non-OS drives.

Test the RAM modules for read/write errors with Memtest86 free version: http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm

If you have no alternative burning software installed, you can create a CD from the image with ImgBurn:
http://filehippo.com/download_imgburn

When you've made the CD, remove all RAM modules except one on your faulty system, then boot your system from the CD.
Memtest will launch and run automatically. Any RAM errors will usually be shown within the first five passes.
Press <Escape> to stop Memtest running.

Repeat the test on the other RAM modules, one at a time so you know which one(s) are faulty if any.

If all the RAM is error-free, test the hard drives with "Seagate SeaTools for Windows"

Thanks for the response Phillip.
I ran a memory test and it did not show any issues.
The disk test did not show any issues either although I had run a Windows disk check before I ran the more advanced version. The Windows check showed a few things one one drive (out of 5) that it fixed but that is similar to what I got after I booted.
