Hello mijingakure
I have the maximus viii formula but I don't have the soundblaster z sound card, SupremeFX 2015 and sonic studio II sound really good.
It could be the sound card causing the freezing, have you tried it without the soundcard?
The only time I experienced my pc not shutting down is when I have an unstable overclock, other than that it's been working great for me.
Try your system at default settings without the sound card.

Do you have AI Suite or any of the Intel software (RSTe, MEI, etc...) installed?

Hi
I doubt that changing to the Formula will fix the problem, I have the Hero and could no find a solution either.
After 6 months and endless tests with SB Z and SB ZxR I ended up with the SoundBlasterX G5 which delivers quite good sound compared to SB Z but unfortunately does not reach the ZxR. However the problem is gone as long as no PCI SB card ist installed in my case. It is still a very frustrating bug but I don't think it will ever be resolved. Maybe Creative brings out some new cards in future , then I will test again. I really miss the fantastic sound of the ZxR.

Hi thanks for the reply, have you tried other brands of PCI sound cards? I wonder if its just Creative's Card or its any PCI cards that will cause the shutdown problem

Yes I tried also tried Asus Strix Raid Pro and DLX and Phoebus Xonar. With all of them I did not have the shutdown issue. But I was not satisfied with these cards. I had coil whine noises from my GPU on the Line Out of all three Asus cards, and the software is really bad compared to Creative. The shutdown bug is really a SB Z Series with Asus Maximus Z170 boards issue.

I never install AI Suit and RSTe, all I installed are Intel Chipset Driver, MEI, Microsoft.NET Framework 4.5.2 , Intel USB 3.0 Controller, Asmedia USB Controller and the Intel Network Card Driver but its not those causing the problem, I've done 3 different versions of fresh windows 7 install without installing any drivers or anything yet, still cause shutdown freeze, cpu fan , motherboard lights, graphic lights/fan still running, screen stuck at windows is shutting down screen.
