Which version of PBIRS are you using? You can find the version number in the Reporting Services Config tool. I've seen this issue before if you have some custom extensions or non-default settings in the config tool. This can lead the process to take longer than the allowed time in Windows to start a service.

 

If possible can you do a backup of your database and on a test machine stand up a fresh instance of Power BI Reporting Services and connect to the backup DB.

Thank you.
