[QUOTE="Jimmysb, post: 1924979, member: 416417"] I looked at the page, however as this is a new Mac Mini, with the first occurrence just a couple of days after buying it with no peripherals except monitors connected, and no software added, then a number of the solutions don't apply, and I am running Ventura. To be more specific about the issue: The screen goes to "static" for a few seconds, then turns black (as when it is about to go to sleep), then back to "static", then black again, it does this a couple of times, then we are up and running again, a separate monitor on VGA mirroring is fine, during this. The issue is random, it is normally after the monitor has gone to sleep (and system (I think)), after the first couple of times, an internet search talked about "energy saving", and after the changes to sleep mode it was almost a week till it happened again. Next was a cable change, and a 3-4 day gap before occurring again. The article talks about reboot, but switching the monitor off and on works, though it could be re-setting itself anyhow. Due to the randomness it is difficult to reproduce, so taking the Mac back to the shop would be a waste of time, as the issue probably would not happen. I have a HDMI to DVI convertor on the way, and this will connect to my VGA monitor, and I will connect my HDMI monitor via VGA, and see which monitor is affected, this should help give some direction.
