Distributed Cache Service Won't Start

Hello,

I am running a single server instance of SharePoint 2013 in my companies prod environment. The issue I am facing is that the Distributed Cache Service will not start when attempting to start from Central Administration. When I click start, the page reloads and it still says the service is stopped. What are some possible causes and fixes for this? Also, it may be worth the mention that I am having an error in the event log every 3 minutes communicating that the timer service has stopped and restarted.
