HM3 not starting: Gets as far as "Starting database server" then hangs

[Knowlestoo]

Title says it all. It's v3.1.6.0 and since I can't get in, I can't send you logs or anything. There's no error messages. It just sits there.

You can still logs from HM3 if it won't run, we have a start menu utility to copy them to the desktop.
