    That is a bad thermistor on the hotend or a bad connection to the thermistor. Check your wiring for a start and if it is good then it is the thermistor itself.

    It still heats up the hotend and still reading the temperature of it. Or is there something else I'm not getting?

    How hot are you getting it before trying to extrude?
    Are you getting any errors in the GCode terminal?

    The first error you reported is a flakey thermistor on the hotend itself.
    Either the thermistor is cracked or the wiring to it is bad (loose connection).
    This will make it spike high or low and that generates the MINTEMP error.
