If you do a time machine restore, you are likely to also restore whatever is causing your problems. If you possible can, do a clean install and take the time it take to set things back up again from scratch, provided you know how to get your data from Time Machine without doing a restore. I think our issues might be similar. Apparently all my hardware is fine and my SSD is fine, but the system won’t boot from that drive. This started happening from time to time when I upgraded to Mavericks.
