Try booting into Safe Mode in case some third party software is causing a problem.


Try running the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected. If your Mini is using a hard drive, then there is a good chance the drive is failing. Unfortunately the diagnostics don't detect most drive failures. Let me know if you would like instructions for creating & using a bootable Linux USB stick to check the health of the drive if none of the other suggestions help.
