Display Works Sometimes/Other

I have a machine with an older GeForce2 MX which sometimes the monitor works, and other times it does not. I recently tried to install an old Gateway graphics card which was the card from the factory and no display happens. One time, I pushed the GeForce2 in the slot more and then tried to boot it up and it worked. When I took it to my client's home, it then did not want to display.
I have tried everything from different voltages, different cables, the two different graphics cards, and everything else and I cannot for the life of me figure out why it works sometimes and sometimes not (mostly not).
