Mac Mini not working properly with Asus PB278Q via thunderbolt/display port
Hi. I've been having nothing but problems with my new Mac mini 2014. When I tried to connect it via a thunderbolt to displayPort connector I couldn't get a signal (monitor is an Asus PB278Q, which always worked flawlessly under all windows versions). I got it working using a HDMI cable instead. It worked fine for a week, then had problems with it booting, but not outputting a signal. After trying everything, I eventually got it working again with a PRAM reset. I also found, after some tinkering, that the thunderbolt cable worked if the mini was connected to ANOTHER monitor via HDMI!! So, after finding that this cable DOES work, I've been trying to get the mini working with just the thunderbolt/displayPort cable.
When I boot the mini, no displayPort signal is detected. If I boot with a PRAM reset (option/command/P/R), it works without any problems. However, when it reboots, again no signal! Pressing the keyboard and magic mouse does nothing. Any ideas how to fix this?
Have to say, I'm finding this very frustrating. The reason I brought a Mac in the first place, was because I was SICK of Windows 8.1 issues. And yet I find that something incredibly BASIC, like getting a modern monitor to work with a mini is an EPIC task, judging by the other issues I've seen on here :-(
