Didn't SB16's used to ship using IRQ7 by default? - This often used to clash with printer ports (the only reason it would 'sometimes' work is because LPT ports don't use the IRQ 99% of the time for 'standard' mode / printing ;-) Try making sure the SB16 isn't using IRQ7, or try removing it, and see if they still lockup then...
