What does it show in the Log ? It could be that the database is corrupted and needs to be rebuilt.

What is the process to rebuild the DB?

1st - Database 'Repair/Regenerate'. This will keep alerts.
If this doesn't work, then...

2nd - Database Delete & Regenerate. With this option you will loose all alerts. You could use the 'Search' function to generate new alerts, but that would take an extremely large amount of time.
If this doesn't work, then...

3rd - Start with an empty DB...
Shutdown BI. delete the entire BI DB folder and all contents. Then, Start BI. BI will create the necessary folders.
Thanks for sharing this process
