I would suspect the belt is getting worn, becoming hard and starting to slip going around the pulleys. Especially if it has some age on it. Also look for cracks in the ribs on the belt.This happens every few years in my 95 S-10. If it is a new belt possibly a wrong size not fitting well on the pulleys?

Almost every car ever will not start without a serpentine belt. The serpentine bell acts similarly to a pulley. It's movement causes everything else to rotate and move. If you look at an engine, there's a number of circular shapes where the serpentine belt goes. It uses traction to rotate them.
