My old Intel Mac Mini has been a lot faster since I switched to an external SSD boot drive. Lately, however, it's been crashing every so often. Sometimes it freezes up and goes into beach-ball land while I'm working before it crashes; at other times, I'll get up in the morning and notice that it just crashed overnight, presumably while in sleep mode.
Any reason this issue might just develop on its own after years of satisfactory performance? My apartment's electtical system seems fairly robust, and Mojave has been running fine on the processor. I appear to have sufficient drive space and I'm not using more memory than usual. Are there some troubleshooting steps worth taking, or is my Mini simply dying of old age?
Thanks!
