Thank you Colin,

I noticed, when this reboot problem first occurred, that the Boot Agent 
list does not include the SSD. I searched and searched for an answer but 
nothing turned up and since nothing in the BIOS had been changed I 
assumed that the cloned SSD was the problem. Plus, Windows will reboot 
and so I thought that also ruled out a BIOS option.

F1 brings up the BIOS menu. Network Boot is set to the SSD by default.

F12 brings up a Boot Menu which shows a list as follows:

ATAPI CD0: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT50N

ATA HDD0: the SSD

PCI LAN: IRA GE SLOT

I cannot see how I can move the SSD to the top of the list.

The boot Agent list is as above but without the SSD.

I have BIOS version 1.52 which, as far as I can tell, is the latest version.

Does any of this suggest an answer?
