Welcome...most probably you are facing the problem which I had face few months back. Here is the solution

1) Un-install the SQLserver

2) Re-install it back with following changes

In the server configuration section, I change the account name details to "NT AUTHORITY/LOCALSERVICE" (during the installation process)

If this does not help post the error log
