What do you mean by "manually shut down the laptop?" If you mean
punch the power button, there's your problem.

As root, "sync ; sync ; shutdown -h now & exit"
Change the "-h" to "-r" to reboot instead of shutdown/halt.
"shutdown" unmounts all your drives and marks them clean so fsck
doesn't have to check them at boot time (except if it's time to check
it, after a specific number of re-boots; then checks will be forced).
