I have the same issue on a new installation of Win 8.1. It used to work nicely for a few hours and then stopped. It works fine on the same PC in Win7.
There is no bootgrabber.exe or bcdedit.exe in the task manager. EasyBCD appears in the task manager for a few seconds, uses some system resources and then dissappears.
I tried reinstalling but it doesn't help.
Eventviewer shows .NET Runtime Error and Application Error.
My Win 8 is not an English version but it says more or less that the process was terminated because an exception occured:
