XP home on a Notebook. EVERYTIME it starts(just as the desktop stablises) it gives a "Serious error" message. The event type is "Error" the source is system error" Event catagory is (102)
and the event ID is 1003
Description is: error code 0000000a, parameter1 82149fe8, then lists 3 more paramters.

Any ideas? Also is there any place at Microsoft to search these? i tried the knowledge base, but didn't find anything.

i found several links that looked good by searching mskb by Windows XP 'ID 1003' use all words(since you warned me you had trouble).
one said maybe you installed ram when system was hibernating and now must boot from floppy and remove corrupt Hiberfil.sys file.
one had to do with incomplete support for acpi on laptop.
what about flashing laptop bios? what changed when this happened?

Maybe try running MSCONFIG from the RUN box. DIsable things in your startup tab and see if that helps. Maybe something is starting up and causing the error. First try disabling everything and then reboot. See if the error occurs. If it does not, enable **only what you need to start with Windows** one thing ata time. You may find the problem or not.
If you get the error right away after removing all checked boxes and rebooting, then there is something wrong with the OS. Maybe redoing SP1 and all updates will help by overwriting the corrupted file.
SP1 is at:
http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/default.asp
Then redo all updates using Windows Update.

Hope this helps.
God bless.
