I've got a 2014 Mac mini that on 2 separate occasions corrupted its hard

booting and then after about 20-30 seconds just shutdown.
Not much fun but on the positive side...it wasn't the PSU.

The ones I briefly looked at yesterday on Amazon UK seemed to be all
Texas Instruments, which I think is also on my G3's motherboard. I'll

I didn't say "unusual"...I said "more unusual" :p
