   Are you sure it's not just testing memory (which may take a while)?  
I don't recall which test is which, but it might sit there for a while 
on a few of them.  How long have you left it at "C"?

   That said, one of the big deals about the KA650 is that it tests 
memory so much faster than the KA630 due to some interleaving scheme, 
if memory serves.
