Please guys, help me, I am desperate...
I brought last year a Mac Mini 2011 (the base model with Intel 3000 HD). Yesterday I brought a Dell U2713H.
1) The monitor alone with the mac mini works 100% OK no mater the cable i use.
2) To my surprise, when i connect a second 1080p or lower res monitor to the mac mini the Dell monitor goes black for a few seconds out of the blue! Then after say a second or two the image returns. It feels like the cable loses the connection for a moment.
The issue appears ONLY when i connect the Dell monitor with the display port to mini dp cable and ONLY when the resolution is 1440p. If I set the resolution on the Dell monitor to 1080p it works OK.

Tell me your opinion guys, the Mac Mini, the Monitor or the cable is to blame?
