Hello, my venerable Mac mini (mid-2010), which serves as a competent media center started acting out a few days ago. It is extremely slow to boot and some applications just stopped working, such as Spotlight and QuickTime (refuses to start). Chrome is acting out weird (see video).
Not sure if this is a motherboard issue, a memory issue or something else. I ran Tech Tools Pro on it and it told me both hard drives have corrupt partitions. That might be the case but that wouldn’t explain Chrome strange behavior.
Any thoughts on what might be the problem? The mini is due for a replacement but I was hoping to wait until the summer to do that...
Thanks!
