I check the AMI sound beep table (http://www.flazh.de/bios/english/beeps.htm).

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. :)
