When I turn on my system, I get some kind of "Siren" from the PC speaker and I do not get any Video from my monitor.

When powering up check to see that the heatsink fan is working.
Try reseating your
1.video card
2.ram
3.cpu

some suggestions

Is the siren a series of long beeps or more of a wailing sound? If it's a wailing sound then you have a temperature issue as stated by Vera. If it is a series of beeps it is usually video card/memory related.
