Two thoughts.

1) If you're using the G3 upgrade without a video card installed, you may need to install a PDS terminator in the video card socket. Apple made dire warnings about operating the NuBus PMs without anything in the PDS slot.

2) When I assembled a PM8100/110 with a NewerTech G3 and PDS passthrough, the HPV card gave me a lot of trouble if it had VRAM SIMMs installed. Try the video card without any VRAM SIMMs, if you have not already. I suspect that there's just not enough power available in that slot for the G3 upgrade, and the HPV card and the additional VRAM.
