To close this thread. I think I have found the problem. Upon inspecting 
the BIOS settings, I found that I had not completely disabled UEFI support.

I may have also created a problem for the boot devices when changing the 
first boot device to the DVD drive for the Fedora 22 install. There were 
two UEFI entries for Fedora with only one Fedora version installed.

I removed all boot options except the DVD drive and the hard disk. I 
have done a fresh install of Fedora 21. If it proves to be stable for a 
couple of weeks, I will proceed with the Fedora 22 install.
