Feodra Core 3 corruption

[Muralidhar Ganga]

Some times the the file manager (Nautilus) does not show up.
if I want to reboot the PC at that point for some reason, the 
Actions->logout 
won't respond. Terminal does not open for a while .... instead of waiting 
for all this
to happen I was playing with pushing the power button. I have done this 
several
times. At one time I see this corruption. I am using this in a lab 
environment.

I guess my question is why pushing power button causes this random writes ??
This is so happened that some of the kernel header files are corrupted (some
junk characters in a header file) and could not compile a kernel module ...

I know I need to do proper shutdown. 

What if this happens? How do I protect this ... ?

Thanks
