Dec 29, 2015 9:23 AM in response to BobSandiferby den.thed,We can not help much, because we do not know exactly which year model Mac Mini you have...?
(the 2014 has 2 thunderbolt ports and the earlier models only have 1 thunderbolt port)
Have a look at > Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support to see if that helps.
I would try the Avid HDX card after the display.

Dec 29, 2015 2:21 PM in response to BobSandiferby den.thed,What happens when you plug the second monitor directly into the first monitor and then your other device(s) into the second monitor....?

Dec 30, 2015 4:31 PM in response to den.thedby BobSandifer,I Just tried that and now it goes black and the first monitor flashes every 10 mins or so

Dec 31, 2015 10:03 AM in response to BobSandiferby den.thed,I would also try switching things around and put the second monitor first.
If that doesn't help, then the problem is starting to sound more like either a bad display or a bad cable.
Maybe it is time to contact your local AASP and have the displays and the cabling checked out..

Jan 1, 2016 9:35 PM in response to den.thedby BobSandifer,AT the moment I have the monitors first in the chain and I did switch them. I still had the same issue. I took it into apple to see if one of the genius could sort it out and they said I did t have an issue. To make sure he was a genii I asked him how many seconds it would take to get to the moon while traveling at 25000 miles per hour. He failed. So back home I went. I decided to hook up my new MacBook Pro and it seemed to drive even 4 monitors with no issues. It looks like my mini will end up being an ftp server and will need to pick up a new mini. Oh. I also asked the genius how many tables were in the store. He got that answer wrong. I have now lost all faith in apples store employees ;-)
thank you for all the help

Jan 2, 2016 9:35 AM in response to BobSandiferby den.thed,some are ok, for phone and pad problems
can't find it, but I remember reading a suggestion that involved using a TB to TB cable between the displays instead of using the second displays built-in TB cable. not the best solution though, because it blocks using other TB drives and devices.
sorry the I couldn't be more help....
