In December I picked up a new Mac Mini 2.6 GHz i7. I put in two crucial SSD's and 16 GB of Crucial ram.
Everything was working great. Until two weeks in, my Mac would not boot on a restart (made it to the Apple gray screen and the wheel just spins). I cloned my Carbon Copy Cloner backup on to the startup disk and everything was fine. This seemed like the fastest fix at the time.
Approximately two weeks later the same thing happens. This time I just reinstalled OSX over the existing installation and everything worked fine.
I removed one of the SSD's and returned it to crucial thinking that was the problem. I then moved to the second SSD.
I have the new Crucial SSD's 960 GB. I have ~500GB free.
Guess what, I am still having the problem.
Any ideas what is going on here? I am a LONG time Mac user and never experienced and intermittent problem like this that was so serious.
TIA
