In the BIOS if you look at the boot device order what do you see?  Can
you photo it and post an image?  Unless my knowledge is out of date
(which is possible) the Intel Boot Agent is designed for booting over
the network, if you don't need to do that then, assuming it appears in
the boot device list, then move it down the bottom.  The SSD should be
at the top.

However it is possible I am completely misinterpreting what is going on.
