What is the version that you are using in SQL Server? The "Timeout expired" error occurs due to many reasons: few as follows:

1) When an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine is not running,
2) When the server name was typed incorrectly,
3) When there are network problems or firewalls.
4) Some other reasons etc..

Please check this article, it has full information about the error such as causes as well as all possible solutions according to version of SQL Server Database.
