   Are you sure that the NUC SSD, which you cloned was okay. That the hardware   
   of the NUC was dying and not the SSD from it?

   That looks like a fail

   We suspect that the NUC is flakely as it was giving problems, It still is   
   playing up.   
      
   Okay, I would   
      
   1) Make a clone copy of any/all hard disks (ssd) that you think you might   
   use in your trouble shooting.   
      
   2) Make sure the bootable USB stick is still a worker.   
      
   3) Try booting the HP400 with the USB stck   
      
   4) If it does boot try booting off one/both of the SSD
