Answer 1

For me a simple windows update fixed it, I wish I tried it before.

Answer 2

This really works - i had verified lot of sites and finally got the answer.

This may occurs when the master.mdf or the mastlog.ldf gets corrupt . In order to solve the issue goto the following path.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL , there you will find a folder ” Template Data ” , copy the master.mdf and mastlog.ldf and replace it in

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA folder .

That's it. Now start the MS SQL service and you are done.

To solve that and have the server working you must have the next steps.

1. Go to SQL Server Services
2. Right click to open properties
3. Go to LogOn tab (By default you will see something like Image 3)
4. Select the radio button Built-in account (Image 4)
5. Click on Ok
6. Go back to SQL Server Services and launch again the server (Image 5) After that you must be able to see run it.

Answer 5

It was very tedious when I get same problem. When I got this problem, I uninstall my SQL Server 2008 but after installing the SQL Server 2008 again,I got the same problem. I was so tensed plus, I had not gotten any help from any site.

To over come this problem. Simply You Need to go on SQL Server Configuration Manager and then click On Protocols on left panel. If you running Network service just disable 'VIA' Protocol. And after that try to start your SQL service it will run successfully.
