« on: November 07, 2007, 07:22:54 PM »
Hi all I have a problem with my mainboard

You still have a problem with bad ram,or wrong type ram.
Have you tried memtest ?

Sorry,The USA has ruined the language The United Kingdom loaned us. We do our best not to type gibberish. I Hope you can forgive us.

Thanks for your help.
But when I write ISO file and try to boot it from CD it can't boot into memtest program.
I test this memtest CD with VMWare and it works (VMWare's BIOS settings is boot from CD first)
I don't sure that my ECS's BIOS settings is boot from CD first or not because I can't access the BIOS settings page.
When I power on, my mainboard don't do anything and it still 3 short beep.
I don't sure when this error occurs, it makes me don't be able to access the BIOS's settings page or not.

But thanks again for your help. :)
