I had a similar issue.  Just bought a new MoBo, processor and ram.   GA-
990FXA-UD5, AMD FX8350 and 8 GB Kingston Hyper Beast DDR3 2400 Ram.
After Adjusting the RAM voltage to 1.65 Volts I installed an old HDD I
had  from a previous build.  It was used on an old Intel P4 32 Bit Dual
core MoBo.  Dual boot with dual drives.  XP on one drive  and Ubuntu
14.04 -  32 bit on the other.  When booting off the Ubuntu 32 bit drive
everthing was fine.  Windows XP of course flipped out and crashed.  (Not
unexpected).  Now I have a 8 Core 64 Bit processor running a 32 Bit OS.
Obviously this was a little disappointing. When I tried to boot Ubuntu
14.04 - 64 Bit version, well  that's when life got interesting.  It
would boot sometime but always lost USB and LAN ports..

Since windows was toast anyhow I wiped it an loaded Ubuntu 64 Bit on another 
system to get it installed.  Now I have 2 identical drive, one with Ubuntu 32 
Bit OS and the Other with the 64 Bit version.   The 32 Bit version worked fine, 
but everytime I tried 64 Bit OS - no joy.  I stubled another post with a 
similar issue and found a solution that worked.  In the BIOS there is a default 
for IOMMU (Disabled),  when I enabled the IOMMU suddenly the 64 Bit OS worked.  
USB 3.0, Gigabit LAN.  Life is good again.  Now back to the drawing board to 
see if I can stripe the drives since both drive are older and slower.  See if I 
can squeeze a little more speed out of them.   I hope this helps. 
James.
