If so, was the device user storage mounted to a PC?

Prior to disconnecting the cable, had the user storage been un-mounted? (or in WinTerms - "safely remove" been executed?)

Do a cold (full) re-boot - several times.
That will run fsck each time on the file system and be fairly certain to find/fix all file system errors.

Running a FAT32 fsck program from the PC end of the cable **IS NOT** recommended.

When certain that no more file system errors are to be found, try to duplicate the crash(es) and keep detailed notes of how to reproduce them.

You did not say how old this device was, but you write as if it where new.
So it is possible it shipped with un-corrected file system errors.

It is also possible that the external PC (with or without user interference) caused the file system errors (slim chance, but possible).
