I am running on the Sequoia 15.5, the most current program. Where I'm living the only internet that works well is WiFi and System Setting shows everything is green. My son never has a problem with the same internet access which tells me there is a problem with my M1 Mac mini. Has any one else had a problem like this? Help!
Mac mini, macOS 15.5

Are you saying you're experiencing short, 2-3 seconds, blackouts on your screen?
That has been a problem for a number of users here, including myself.
One user figured out that the app Zoom was causing the short blackouts. I had Zoom installed so uninstalled the app and all supporting files and haven't had a blackout since. If you have Zoom installed you might uninstall it and all supporting files (I used the shareware app Find Any File to search for any files with the application's name in the file name.
1 - Name contains zoom
If you use Zoom give it a try. You can always re-install it.
With the shareware app Find Any File. Search for any files with the application's or the developer's name in the file name. For the Zoom software you'd do the following search(es):
1 - Name contains zoom
Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop or Trash bin in the Dock for deletion.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.
If you get warnings that the file can't be deleted because it is in use or used by another app boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and delete from there.
Note: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will assure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
As I recall I didn't need to boot into Safe Mode to remove all of the supporting files for Zoom.
Did you remove the supporting files along with the application?
I failed to mention the exact problem. The issue is that the computer keeps stoping, sometimes for a few seconds other times for several minutes, and, sometimes I have to restart the computer to get it to work at all.
Thanks so much, I'll give it a try!
I have tried throwing away Zoom. No luck, but thanks for suggesting it.
How do you do that?
I removed all the files I found and IT WORKED!!!!!!
My computer hasn't stalled since I threw them all away!
Glad to hear you got it fixed. 👍
My 2020 M1 Mac mini keeps stalling out.
