Certificate service will not stay started for Windows 2003 Server

I have a Windows 2003 server that is running Certificate services. I recently renewed the certificate. The CertSvc will not stay started. I can start the service without an error but when I refresh the page the service is stopped again. I receive the following logs:

I have already done that.
Did you check the CA's root signing certificate? (and all the other certificates up the signing chain?)
Try to identify by modifying the following error details with yours:
C:\>certutil -error 2148204801 0x800b0101 (-2146762495) -- 2148204801 (-2146762495)


This is what I get.

C:\>certutil -error 2148204801
0x800b0101 (-2146762495) -- 2148204801 (-2146762495)
Error message text: A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file
.
CertUtil: -error command completed successfully.
It makes sure, one or more certificate has been expired.  You may find that now. and need to replace same.
I have renewed all certs.
I renewed the cert again in the CA snap in and it looks like its working now.
