Question : Win98se Won't Boot Up, Can Hear Fan, Monitor says "No Signal"

Hello Everyone, My computer was running Win98se, I was getting VXD errors ,but when I tried to Scandisk or Defrag it , it couldn't (don't remember errors). We had a storm and it knocked out the electricity  , afterwards the computer will not come on. I can hear the fan running , moniter comes on but says ""No Signal "". The  Hard drive light(red) is faintly glowing.I hope my hard drive is ok because I have some VERY  IMPORTANT stuff on it.  I haven't tried anything yet.Hope to get some advice on what I need to do. Thanks in advance , Cowgirlky

Answer : Win98se Won't Boot Up, Can Hear Fan, Monitor says "No Signal"

Here are a few things that could be done...
- Rent a computer for a week
- Take hardrive to techie-repair and ask them to copy the data to another media (surely they can't mess this up)
- get an emachine yourself...they are relatively inexpensive and at least good for 2 years, don't forget to include BillDl's comments regarding surge protection.
