Azure SQL VM will not start

Hello,

I have a SQL VM in Azure that has been running fine. Today I stopped it, and then 20 minutes later tried to start it, and now it fails to start. If I check the operation logs all I see is a 500 error.

It doesn't look like there are any other service errors in azure right now. I'm not really sure where to look at this.

any ideas?

thanks
