You may want to suspect that the floppy drive or IWM chip that controls it

Booting from a Hard Disk is OK, so it's not SCSI. Could be flakey RAM, loading the OS is usually when most computers lock up with bad RAM (it is an intensive memory swapping thing so it tends to fall over errors) however if it locked up just after loading the OS or when loading an app I *would* suspect the RAM. The floppy may be the problem, or (cringes) the IWM chip that runs it. The error booting from a floppy and the freeze at shutdown both correspond to commands being issued to the floppy drive.
