Whenever you shutdown "improperly" you can leave the file system screwed up.  The 
next time you start the OS, it knows the shutdown was "improper" and fixes things. 
 If you disable this, you will end up with a corrupt file system.

The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to switch to NTFS.  NTFS keeps a journal, 
and so the OS doesn't have to scan the disk to find potential problems.

To put it another way, your problem is you use FAT.
