For those keeping score: A bit less than a year ago, my Mac Mini (photo computer) suffered toasting of its i/o board, and I had to replace it with a new one.
Yesterday the new one froze while I was transferring pix of Herculaneum to SmugMug. When I tried to restart it, nothing happened -- the white apple on a black background appeared, the "thermometer" crept about 10% of the way along, and then everything went blank. I had no time to attempt repair until this afternoon. I booted in "recovery mode," and ran Disk Utility . It reported a problem in the SSD. So I ran Disk Utility on the Apple SSD, Container Disk 2, Mac HD, Apple Disk Image, and OS X Base System. All were deemed healthy, except a note that there was an "overallocation on main device."* Restarted, and it started. Then it froze again. I'm now restoring the OS from a Time Machine backup, and then I'll have to restore all the data. I was besieged by computer problems in 2018; and they seem to have crept into 2019 too. Thanks for letting me vent.
