Do as Dave says.
I will only add that I have such a computer. If it craps out on you again before you are able to do, or complete, the backups Dave is referring to, I'd make one suggestion. If the machine is truly totally refusing to power up (you don't say exactly) then it is quite likely (only "quite likely"...not certain) that the internal drive with your data is fine and that the problem lies elsewhere in the machine. This means that by simply removing your drive and putting it into an appropriate case or adapter you might well be able to extract the data. Well worth a last ditch try.
Good luck.
