Sometimes it best to break out tomcat from Alfresco and to install Tomcat separately with version that installs Tomcat as a service. There are .exe installers for this.

Apache Tomcat can be found

https://tomcat.apache.org/download-80.cgi

After Tomcat is installed start it up in Services.msc, then validate if the Tomcat console comes up. http://localhost:8080, then deploy your alfresco war file.

I like this approach better since I can verify tomcat before I deploy Alfresco.

It seems that unfit memory settings on the Windows Service can cause the issue you describe. To configure it, open the configuration window for the Alfresco service using (adjust the path accordingly):

C:\Alfresco\tomcat\bin\timcat6w //ES//AlfrescoTomcat

then on the Java tab try to adjust the values to fit your machine (e.g. you should not give the process more memory than the available physical RAM)
