Try reseating the autoboot rom on the lower right hand corner of the GForce030.  You might also give a gently push on any dip chips on the board you see to make sure they are seated firmly in their sockets.  Sometimes the best method is to use a small screwdrive and gently pry up dip-style chips and then reseat them in their sockets thereby making better contact.  Also, the 86-pin edge connector on the GForce is a bit on the short side; make sure it seats itself fully in the cpu slot.  A2000s are notorious for the rather flimsy case; perhaps yours shifted in transit and therefore the cpu card doesn't seat fully.  Worth a shot.
