Try booting into Safe Mode.


Try booting into Internet Recovery Mode (Command + Option + R) if your Mini supports it so you can try running Disk Utility First Aid, otherwise try booting into Recovery Mode (Command + R) instead.


Try running the Apple Diagnostics.


It is possible your hard drive is beginning to fail.


What is the exact model of your Mini and version of macOS? You can get this information by entering your serial number here:
