Default What is this memory dumping thing?

Apparently my computer decides to start doing memory dumping tests after I boot it. This is the message I get after the "Windows loading" screen and obviously before the User Accounts logon screen:

"Checking file system on C:
The type of the file system is NTFS

One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
...
...
..."


Then it starts doing 3 different tests... I have no clue as to why it does this. My assumption would be that this would happen when the computer is shut down by holding the power button. Any ideas or suggestions?
