Who says it was stuck? You only let it run for one minute and 44 seconds
before you made that assumption and canceled the tests. The user
interface, as you should realize by the appearance, is very minimal,
meaning often during hardware tests it may *appear* nothing is happening
because nothing is changing on the screen. That doesn't mean nothing is
happening.
