So you had a G4 card and a Travelstar under OS 9, and that caused

can be changed ?

This is what happens when I read posted too late at night. Your
issue isn't exactly as mine was. I had a WS II with a stock G3/282
in it. The TravelStar HD was an older model without the liquid
bearing. Something about the placement of the HD in the WS causes
the older drives to freeze up, something about magnetism... Anyway
the older drives need to have some kind of shielding placed on them
to keep them from locking up. The one I had was really bad; it would
lock up after going to sleep; at times it would lock up on start up;
at times is would lock up if it idled to long (after I disabled the
sleep mode). Since your machine seems to lock up regardless of the
OS, perhaps the HD is the problem. I don't believe there are any
settings on the HD itself to change.
I suggested this because you seem to steer away from the heat
issue. I don't recall if the fan on my WS runs full time, though I
imagine it must. If yours doesn't, perhaps the fan itself is
defective or the connector is not making full contact. You're right
it does seem to be a software issue with 9 since the machine performs
with the cache write-through on in X. Perhaps you should contact
Daystar about this; they were always quite helpful to me with the
upgrades I made on my older Power PC's, very responsive.
