Mac Mini takes a couple of minutes to boot up?
Hi, I just bought a (late 2012) Mac Mini- 2.3ghz i7 with 256 GB SSD. From the very first time I plugged it in and booted I get a series of black screens blinking on my monitor, sometimes for up to 5 minutes, then it boots up as normal and goes to the login (password) screen.
Obviously with an SSD installed my boot time should be super quick. Im running it into a BENQ G2400W Display at 1920x1200 resolution thru HDMI.
The strange thing is it only really does it when the mini has been off for a while. If I just do a restart when its warmed up it starts up no problems and I get no black screens at all or any strange behavior once booted.
I have done all updates including to 1.7. Has anyone else experienced this or know whats happening? Do I have a faulty machine or could it be issues connecting to my monitor (which seems strange if so as it works no problems once booted)?
Any help appreciated.
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
