Hello ChrisJL. Welcome to the Ultimate Edition Board.
ChrisJL, to tell you the truth, one million things could case the problem that your having to happen. Example "System upgrade, a failing hard drive, faulty hardware etc" What kinda of operations/task where you doing before the machine decides not to shut down properly. Is it a case where as, you have files on the partition to backup? because if there is nothing there to backup, I would just recommend you doing a fresh installation!!
