Bought a Mac Mini M4 in Dec. 16 mb Ram, 250mb SSD, 2 TB External. Sequoia 15.2-15.3. My Mac Mini will suddenly go solid black while using it. Lasts for about 2-3 seconds and is fine with no changes afterword. I upgraded to 15.3 and it still continues to do it, maybe 1 or 2 times a day. Not a real detriment to using it but...

Mac mini
I got a new Mac Mini M4 in January, and it behaved normally until I upgraded the system to 15.3.2, after which the momentary black screen issue began. I am having a hard time believing that it ran for months without any problem and started blacking randomly because of a hardware issue. My old Dell monitor is connected to the HDMI port on the Mini via a conversion cable to the DVI port on the monitor.
Why?
Beats me. Not a major issue…yet.
FYI - I was replying to Kurt's message asking why he suggests not to use HDMI.
Got you. Did it again when performing a random act.
Should have asked this to begin with. What make and model monitor is this?
Viewsonic 22 “ HDMI LED VX2250 series.
Good to know before investing in new cables!
I'm beginning to think this is an issue with the M4 platform and not a monitor cable issue.
My screen has been relatively dormant and glitch free for a while now! Don’t know why…have upgraded to Sequoia 15.5. Knock on wood!
@budiz777 Sounds like a different issue than being discussed here. Difficult to say what the problem is, but you could start a new thread to get the attention you deserve.
can you please share the brand of the usbc c to display port cable you are using? thank you
Just happened to me today first time, found this post. Any replies from Apple?

I shut down every night. The next day the problem is still there. I have a single 2k monitor connected. Should not be a problem.
Got mine from the Big River company. Brand was Warrkey. Since I see some other URLs posted, here is the one I got that has been working for me.
