  Make sure that all of the boards and cables (and RAM) are
firmly/fully seated; one may have gotten knocked loose while you were
swapping cards.

  It sounds to me like you've made tests that would have revealed if
the video card or monitor were bad.  The boot process is in text
mode, where both EGA and VGA emulate CGA, so you shouldn't have had
to change low-level settings.
