Take a look in the Event Viewer and see if anything relevant is logged.
Check the log on the clone too.

I'll have to do the clean boot again to be sure, but I don't think
it told a noteworthy story. But, because I, too, am suspicious that
the Norton AV software is a likely suspect, I made a different test
overnight, on this Master system.
I disabled all Norton/Symantec entries in the services.msc list,
disconnected from the phone line, and let it try to go to sleep
at 10 P.M...... and when I checked nine hours later, the power
light on the tower was flashing. So I immediately copied and
saved the 3 pages in the Events Log, and will paste them in below.
I was disappointed in a way, at not seeing the every-hour intervention,
and I don't know if it's good news or not. What's your take on it?
(I'm sorry for the length of the post; I haven't worked out the
free uploading thing yet).
But the overnight Events Log is surprisingly bare; maybe that does point
the accusing finger at the Norton software. I can repeat that test
overnight with just that one difference.
Note the usual 7026 error when booting at 6:50 this morning,
that I've mentioned before, and nothing else.
I really ought to do the clean boot thing again on the clone, and
record the Events Log.
