I trust you added cards one after the other and re-started successfully each time. I often use contact cleaner for cards that won't, resetting the PRAM each time..

Someone posted at XLR8yourmac.com how he transferred an 8500 board to a PC ATX housing and gave a chart on transposing its wiring to be compatible with the 8500's. Try re-setting the motherboard and see what happens. Oh, 8100 PS are not compatible with higher demand 8500s - they conk out sooner..
