Due to above error I was also unable to open sqlserver database from the Server Explorer window in Visual Studio 2010. Below steps will resolve this issue and you will be able to open/start sql server.
1. Open run window and type Services.msc. This will open the Services window which lists all the services installed on your system.

3.Right click on it and go to properties. Then go to LogOn tab and under "Log on as" select the Local System Account. click on Apply button and OK Button.
4. Now start SQL Server. It will be started without any error.
