No video on the monitor

I have an old computer that I am trying to work, and it hasn't been used in a few years. I don't know if age is a problem, but it stopped working which is why I am not using it anymore.

It runs on MS 98 and is a Compaq

Seems to boot, I see the light on the hard drive come on and hear it kick on then it quiets down...so I make sure I still have activity on the front of the box and I do but I am left with no video. My monitor just has a blinking power light like its searching but not getting any signal.

I know the monitor works b/c I use it for another machine
I used the current AGP video card I have for current computer which works fine and it doesnt work. I even tried one in the PCI slot still didn't get anything

Anyone have any ideas as to the problem

Is my power supply weak? Hard Drive Problem?

Thanks for the help
