Hello Tareyo,


Do you use any fan control programs on the Mac Mini ?

Also the recommended monthly maintenance procedures you asked about:

Repair Directory Procedure:

1. (re)start the computer
2. right after the computer starts press Command (Apple) +"s" until you get a black screen with white type
3. let go of the keys when this screen comes up
4. at the cursor please type the following: /sbin/fsck -fy and press return (make sure to include the spaces)
5. please be aware that some of the procedures will look like they are frozen, but are actually taking a long time to work i.e checking hierarchy
6. if anything had to be repaired, repeat step 4
7. once things are repaired type "exit" and press return
8. computer will boot into Mac OS
