Tracing Steps:
- Open ULS Viewer for the farm server you are trying to start the service on
- Open the Live feed from the logs. File -> Open from -> ULS

This was an error in a PowerShell profile that was created for All Users.

- Open Windows Explorer
- Navigate to: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
