I'm not sure Windows-7 was initially designed for 'couple weeks of uptime'. | |

If Windows is interrupted while it's updating things on the disk that it uses to look up files and find free space, like MFT records, then you might get things about chkdsk on reboot. See my edit above for more information as well.
