Some of the minis are running even longer. They are really work horses.

HI Keith, ok, it’s good to know what one might expect after ten years.
Because I really want to get a mini for myself someday. I think the new mac
minis are real workhorses. Enjoy your new machine .

Ron and all,
I had a mac guy in yesterday and looking at the log it had restarted 18
times in 12 hours. None of the files pointed to any one problem. Rather
than replacing a part at a time until we find the problem we are replacing
the computer.
Thank you all for taking a look at this mess.

Suggestion,
If the machine hasn’t been professionally cleaned over the last 10
years, you might wanna take it into the shop to have that done. From past
experience with a white, 13-inch MacBook I once had, if the heat sink on
the CPU gets 40%, or more, plugged with lint, fuzz, dust, etc, the CPU
would overheat and the machine would randomly restart. I had a friend take
it apart, he cleaned the heat sink, as it was pretty clogged with junk,
plus he put new thermal grease between the processor and the heat sink,
put the whole thing back together, and it never randomly restarted after
that.
I’ve seen articles which suggest using compressed air on electronic
components, and while I’m sure it helps, I don’t know how much it actually
keeps junk from clogging up heat sinks?
My suggestion may not help, but it can’t hurt to look into.
HTH?

not sure what ups is but sounds like power supply, if the problem has
been since that was updated it may still be the causesomehow, physical
connection not solid.
Under energy saver prefs is it set to start up automatically after a
power loss / uncheck and see what happens next time. Reset defaults.
Good luck

Hi folks,
We have a 10 year old macmini in our office serving as a server. Just
in the last few weeks the mini has been randomly restarting. It is on
a new ups so that would not seem to be an issue.
Any ideas what mite cause this?
Thanks.
