New Mac Mini Snowy Screen

I have a new Mac Mini and when I turn it on several times I am getting a snow screen that comes on an off. Stays there for 5 seconds, then goes off, then on then off. Had the machine for two weeks. Suggestions?

Thank you

Try a shorter, HDMI-certified cable under 5 feet/1.2m. Give the monitor a power cycle if not done already. Good luck.

What display do you have?

What connection are you using?

Try a different cable or different adapter and cable connection.

Using an HP Pavilion 27xw monitor connected through the HDMI port. I have had this connected to my Macbook Pro for a long time with no issues. Works fine for a most of the time then this happens.

Thank you
