This is a very vague question. If you want more than my WAG answer,
please provide more details (system logs, error messages, etc.). That
being said, my WAG is that you're not shutting down your domUs before
you shutdown your dom0. To prevent headaches, ensure there are no
running domUs before you attempt a shutdown/reboot of dom0.

Once again, no logs, no help. Since you're using Fedora, you should be
able to read the systemd logs leading up to the crash with journalctl.
The man pages are your friend here. If the crash is hard enough, it may
not get written to disk. In that case, you'll want to get a serial
console set up and log the crash messages to another machine.
