Check the SQL error log (it's just a text file, you can open it in notepad). See if there are any useful messages about why the service isn't starting. Start from the end of the error log (most recent event) and read up.

Anything in event viewer? Between the SQL log and event viewer, it should point to what's raising the issue.
