Sharepoint Central Administration not running

I am getting the following error when I try to browse either the Central Administration or the Web Application:-

Unable to connect to database.
Check database connection information and make sure the database server
is running

In the event log, I have the following error entry:

The description for Event ID ( 27745 ) in Source ( Windows SharePoint Services 3 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: #50071: Unable to connect to the database SharePoint_AdminContent_a9991124-7852-4cc2-8a15-470a061b7a0d on svrhspuneet. Check the database connection information and make sure that the database server is running..

Please help me resolve this.

Thanks
