My system was running an ASUS A8N-E MB with an AMD 4200+. Then at some point the cooling fan for the chipset died. The system wouldn't go any further than the ASUS splash screen.

I got it to boot in safe mode and started replacing drivers. The problem is that the one thing I can't clear up is a "limited connectivity" message and no ability to get to my network or the internet. I need to fix that problem and also I assume there's junk drivers still sitting there from the old hardware. Does anyone have any idea on the best way to clean up this mess? The help would be appreciated.

Whilst replacing the drivers, did this include all of the drivers that
are supplied with the MSI motherboard, for its chipset, sound, LAN (if
on-board), etc.? There is more to the swap than repairing the Windows
XP part of the installation.
