Aug 31, 2016 6:09 AM in response to Felisby Bill Beasley,I found the exact same thing after I came home from vacation. nothing I've done so far has helped. I'm disappointed in Apple on this one. I hoped this would last for years more.

Sep 13, 2016 1:31 PM in response to Aesclealby JCLUser,Same problem. Mac Mini Mid 2011. 2.5 Gz i5. Radeon HD 6630M.
Was considering buying a new mac but given that this is a design flaw that has been ignored by Apple.. I am going the PC route.

Sep 20, 2016 11:25 PM in response to Leidonby Runsha,Thats it! Thats picture is exactly what my Mid 2011 Mac Mini is doing! But try to describe that mess on the phone to someone. It will start doing that after a variable length of time then suddenly entire screen will offset to left between 20 and 30% and cooling fans all take off like mad max rpm. *sighs* Got the silly thing on a laptop cooling pad with 3 fans blowing full blast flipped on its back like a turtle with cover off just to keep it cool enough to work. Reset usually brings it back but often have to accomplish that reset with hard dump from power switch. Sad thing is I initially bought mini just prior to the mid 2011 one coming out and it had major issues that after 3 months the Apple store gave up on it and replaced it.. with a mid 2011 one since other was no longer available. I paid the extra to have the AMD graphics card and it worked fine till about 3 months ago and then this started happening. Replaced cables and changed monitors and even hooked it to TV. Used HDMI and thunderbolt outputs with various adapters and has same issue with them all. Only other problem I have had is that memory2 temp sensor is frozen at 122f never goes up or down yet it "tests good" on diagnostics.
So guess I know what issue is now. And guess I get to join the crowd waiting for an Apple solution that aint gonna bankrupt me.
