    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    I originally had updated my Mini out of the box from 4GB to 8GB but the 8GB was not the correct memory. I ordered the correct memory from Crucial and have not had a problem since.

    I originally had updated  my Mini out of the box from 4GB to 8GB but the 8GB was not the correct memory. That memory was from the Mac Mini pre-mid-2012 which I had but returned because the new model came out days after my initial purchase. I ordered the correct memory for the Mid-2012 Mac Mini from Crucial and have not had a problem since.
