Mac Mini becomes unresponsive with fan at max
Last September, I bought a 2014 Mac Mini to use as a BlueBubbles and Immich server. It has 8GB of RAM, a 512GB HDD, an Intel Core i5, and I keep it on all the time. One day, I came into the room it was in and heard the fan blowing at max speed. It would not display anything, and my remote access software, Chrome Remote Desktop, could not connect to it. I had to shut it down by holding the power button. This resulted in something being corrupted on my Immich server, and I had to reinstall it completely. This has happened three times so far.
Mac mini, macOS 12.7
