Kyle, I think that the first thing you need to do is get onto the box in question, somehow, and try running Ht://dig from the command line. That should then rule out: Corruption of the databases, corruption of the EXE, most config issues etc.
I am assuming that the DBs and all other files are physically located on the same server?
