What I do boss replace em all?

Yes, replace all G-Luxon, bulged or not - false economy to do anything less, because non-bulged will be bulging soon

Got a mind to bung the bloated ones back in at least the board ran!

Possibly killed a stick of ram. Tried bios reset? Maybe bent pin on cpu? I only say this cause I have done them.

I re-capped a biostar socket 939 recently which gave a blank screen and continous bleeps from the speaker. Got it resolved by clearing the cmos settings by shorting the reset pins on the board as stated on the manual. Have you tried re-setting the cmos?
