I think I have identified the problem.
The problem is indeed with the X-Fi soundblaster driver which I kinda
expected it to be...
Others have warned for laggy sound issue's with that driver... but I have
not seen shutdown
problems being mentioned... well it's probably real... or it was a lucky
shutdown... but I don't
think so it was lightning fast shutdown with the x-fi audio driver.
So now I will go back to my previous X-Fi soundblaster driver which was
probably this version:
SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0008.exe
Or either an even older one:
SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_15_0006.exe
Me gonna try the 0008 one...
Good thing I kept these drivers...
Since I just cleaned my system a
bit... I think I did
delete something related to drivers... but maybe not...
NVidia also constantly changes installation folders and doesn't have a
custom installation folder
neither does creative... well at least with nvidia I knew which was the
older driver cause the files
stay there or something... at least the unpacked files or something...
With creative I am not sure...
So a little bit more experimentation to come. I am probably close to a
solution.
At least I can probably use the newer display drivers
