Can you start SQL as an application? See if the startup switch -f helps:

What is the contents of the ERRORLOG file? It is generally located in <install path>\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.<Insatance#>\MSSQL\LOG.

Could this be your issue?
1814 = Could not create tempdb. If space is low, extend the amount of space and restart.
