I have two different PCI video cards, one is an MGA something and the other is an S3 ViRGE. For either one, I have to power cycle my machine a few times before I get a video signal. The weird thing is this happens with two different mainboards: a Pentium Pro board and a 486 board. So I've got two different video cards causing the same problem in two different boards, no matter which is matched with which.
Unfortunately I don't have a 3rd PCI Video card to test with. I do have a Vesa Local Bus video card, and it works perfect in the 486 board, but I can't test it in the Pentium Pro.
So what is most likely the problem? Are both PCI video cards I bought on eBay flakey?
