Hi, I'm entering this thread a little late so forgive me if I end up restating previous suggestions. If you can, try your g3 card in another machine to see if that is the problem. After all the mucking around that's been done at this point I think you should disconnect power, pull the battery, hit the on/off switch a few times, and let the machine sit for several hrs to clear the mobo [no CUDA switch on these]. Unplug everything from the mobo [drives, ram, cache, g3 card, keyboard, monitor] and with battery in place, and machine plugged in, hit the start button. Listen for chime. No chime, change battery. Chime. Start reconnecting things, except the hd; use a cd for startup. If that works try the hd.
My 6100's [3] have run for ages, whether clocked from 60/66Mhz>90Mhz or g3'd. These are still cool machines and very cheap to own these days.
