sandboy Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 When i start my Macmini it shows me the following screen instread of the Apple logo. The computer does still start but I don't like this weird looking boot screen. I did get this problem after i installed Windows Vista with Boot Camp. I got dual boot but this screen does appear before the OS is loading. I'm a new Mac user but if i compare to a PC i would say that I get this screen instead of getting bios information and other hardware information. It have been working and i think a Apple was shown then. I dont know it it are relevant information but I have upgraded it to 4 gb RAM by myself, but it have been working fine since then. I did get this screen when i restarted to install Vista with Boot Camp Do you think it is a Hardware problem so I need to send my Macmini for repair? Does anyone have seen this screen before? Does anyone have any tips to solve the problem? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/162019-macmini-graphic-problem-at-startup/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandboy Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 So it still boots? Yes it stays at this stage for about 30 sec and then it boots as usual.

Tony Stark Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 If it still boots then there is a problem between the TV and the Mini, that forum should give you your answer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/162019-macmini-graphic-problem-at-startup/#findComment-1133051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandboy Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 If it still boots then there is a problem between the TV and the Mini, that forum should give you your answer I will connect it to my regular screen when I get home, it might be a problem between my TV and computer. I am using the Mini DVI to DVI to HDMI adapter. But the weird thing is that i have been working fine.
