Check over all the IDE settings again, just to make sure. If you don't find anything, I'd flash the BIOS. Asus' download page looks messed up right now, so this is the A8V-E ftp spot. You'll probably want the A8VE1006.zip file for your BIOS.
jahcs: never heard of a warranty being voided by flashing :blink:
If nothing works, I believe the MB got fried. I'd be hesitant to use your power supply at all, since burning smells aren't exactly good. I'd be even more hesitant if it turns out your IDE channels don't work, because it might have been a power surge that killed them.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
