Default Hey there, everyone

Hey, everyone. I need some help with my computer, and, though I love it, I'm a ignoramus on the subject of computers, so I don't really know where this problem would go. The reason it happened is fairly obvious, but I need to know if I could just get it fixed, or if I need to get a new one.
I'm in Kansas, and, as most of you may know, a huge ice storm hit it this most recent Tuesday. The computer in question was on when a major electricity blowout hit half of Kansas. It was off till Friday, and the house was about 30 degrees all week.
Yesterday, the electricity came back on. I let my room heat up a little, then turned on my computer. It loaded up to the point with the Microsoft insignia, then the monitor goes black, and said that there was no signal. It's been like that since yesterday, and now it won't even load. It turns on, but no signal goes through.
So should I get a new computer, or monitor, or should I just see if I can get it fixed. Right now I'm using my parents computers, but their getting a bit annoyed.
If any of you could tell me the problem, that'd be great.
Thank you.
Winchester
