There are many things that can cause file system errors. Often it is just a glitch, the PC hanging at the wrong time, or an abrupt shutdown. Other times, this can be an early sign of a failing hard drive. You should start by using a disk repair tool such as CHKDSK or Scandisk. You can go to My Computer, right click the C Drive, and go to Properties, then to Tools. There is an option to check the system drive there that you can use.

If you have other symptoms like the system sometimes starting to a blue screen or hanging, or the system taking a long time, then you should get the hard drive manufacturer's test utility. It might be able to relocate any endangered data and/or tell you if a crash is imminent. If there are a lot of errors, then you should get a new hard drive, reinstall everything onto it, then copy any and all user data you can from the failing drive.
