Unless that Asus B85-G is the EXACT SAME motherboard that you used to have, they you are probably out of luck. A motherboard swap usually requires a fresh OS install. If you can get drivers for XP for that motherboard you might be able to do a clean install.
 
Asus B85-G uses an Intel 8 series chipset. The Intel 7 chipset series was the last Intel chipset to support Windows XP and Vista. There is NO support for Windows XP or Vista with Intel 8 or 9 series chipsets or newer Intel chipsets.

You might try Windows XP compatibility mode with a newer operating system such as Windows 7 or 8.
