Question : MSSQLSERVER unhandled exception 80000003, Error: 17311, Severity: 16, State: 1, SQL 2005, Windows 2008

I'm running SQL Server 2005 on my Windows 2008 server. I did a very bare install with basically just the DB Engine. It was running just fine, but I restarted the machine and now MSSQLSERVER service does not start. I check the Windows Event Log and it says the following:

SQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception 80000003. This error may be caused by an unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling. Check the SQL error log for any related stack dumps or messages. This exception forces SQL Server to shutdown. To recover from this error, restart the server (unless SQLAgent is configured to auto restart).

Attached is the ERRORLOG file from SQL's log directory.

Answer : MSSQLSERVER unhandled exception 80000003, Error: 17311, Severity: 16, State: 1, SQL 2005, Windows 2008

actually, Windows 2008 server is not in the list of supported OS for SQL Server 2005 (standard edition) ...
