it is not checking for viruses. It is going through a full scan of every bit of memory. It takes like ten minutes. Also, my date and time always say Jan 1, 1980 even though I reset them every time.

Because that is how it's set up in the BIOS. Some can be set to not do a memory check at startup and some can not. Check your BIOS to see how yours works.
