Was your Graphics card not screwed to the case? If it was why resecure it? If the cord was yanked hard have you checked the monitor to make sure every think is good on that end?

I hope you don't have a damaged monitor but you said you tested with HDMI so my guess is not. I also hope you don't have a damaged graphics card. Do you have a spare graphics card you can put in to rule out?

Could be a power supply issue. That or the motherboard went bad.

On your TV, did you make sure your input source was set to HDMI?

thanks. mobo and psu damage are the safest bets. gpu was screwed in.
i cant even try a diff gpu cause it wont even turn on. ;[
yeah, it was set o hdmi. rly weird shit.... its an awesome rig i cant afford o lose. ouch.

Astounding news. Really weird stuff.

- The monitor stopped working. I believe the DVI connector per se was damaged.

- It turns out PSU and mobo are working just fine. I could no longer boot it up because now it won't boot with a jumper connected in the mobo for the USB 2.0 front port of my HAF X 942. Weirdest thing EVER. Yeah, sure, I want my 2 fornt USB 2.0 ports to work, but it isnt a deal breaker... still, I'd like to know why.

- GTX 690 is fried. I dont know why my PSU wouldnt boot with it, but I took it somewhere, with a Corsair 550W PSU and it did boot. And as soon as it booted, SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF IT. Removed the casing/cooler and it turns out that what fried wasn't the chip itself, instead what seems to be it's VRMs.

Ouch, thats expensive. could have been static from the vacuum i guess, that would do some damage
