cannot connect to configuration database

I have installed SharePoint 2010 in Windows 7. I had to do many configuration changes to make it work. Not excited though. It should work in the same way as it should have in Windows server. Whenever i turn off my system, start again and broswe to anysites or central admin I receive this error.
"cannot connect to configuration database"..

very annoying ah?..

The reason is everytime you turn off you system, the SQL Server(SharePoint) services also get stopped.

To make the sites to work normally go to Services.msc and make sure the following services are running. If not right click and start it.

1. SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)
2. SQL Server (SHAREPOINT)
