Quoted from tamoore:They still make Zima, or is it a leftover stash from 1995?
Quoted from Hawkeyepin:I don't think they make Zima's anymore.
According to their Wiki page, Zima is still marketed in Japan (it ceased in the U.S. in 2008):

Quoted from Minneapolispin:I'm getting nervous for the delivery of my KISS Pro tomorrow.
Relax, Minneapolispin. I'm sure everything will be cool.
Here's a nice cold one for when you get home: 
Quoted from Breaking_Dad:Has any of you 3 tried re-installing the code....helped a guy having problems with his NIB ST PREM few days ago..???...............Joey
Currently this is not an option as Stern has not publicly posted KISS code yet. You can't even download it on their site yet.
Stern has posted video on their Facebook of Borg playing an updated v1.0 code, and some people here were saying that a code release was scheduled for this week, but we haven't seen any code posted yet.
Quoted from cooked71:Wonder if WWE had any Spike related issues similar to these being reported for KISS.
I have a Wrestlemania LE with the SPIKE system, but I haven't experienced any of these issues that the OP is having. However, I did have an issue with the system randomly restarting every once in a while (it didn't happen extremely often but often enough for me to reach out to Stern tech support). Stern sent me a new CPU board, and I haven't had any issues as of yet.
Quoted from pinballnut3:someone has to actully buy a WWE for us to know if it would have problems.
I bought Wrestlemania LE & am enjoying it (of course it needs some updated code). The majority here on Pinside seem to hate the theme & unique layout, but I'm actually a fan of both.
Quoted from pinballnut3:Yeah where do you get zima?
Quoted from TomGWI:Do they even sell Zima anymore?
You guys missed our "Zima Talk" back on Page 1:

Quoted from Minneapolispin:I just got a note from my buddy who also got a non-working KISS Pro. He was shipped a new CPU board today and says the game is acting up worse than ever.
I was told my replacement CPU is shipping Friday. I thought this ordeal would be over after I swapped it out, but sounds like this may be part of an even larger problem.
Any ideas?
Damn, sorry to hear that. Did your buddy tell you if his game is exhibiting any of the same symptoms as before, or is he having all new issues?
With everything you've tried so far, it's entirely possible that there's an issue with a batch of one of the parts that make up the new SPIKE system. Unfortunately from your buddy's report, it doesn't sound like it's the CPU board.
I didn't have all of the same issues you had with KISS, but I did experience some random restart/shut-down issues with my SPIKE system game (Wrestlemania LE). Swapping in a new CPU board didn't solve my issue, so now Stern is sending me a new SPIKE power supply to try.
Quoted from NJGecko:Interestingly enough, the Stern on location at Modern Pinball in NYC is also having issues

Related KISS Pro issue pasted here for reference (from Eddie at Modern Pinball NYC):
"STERN KISS... came up with an issue related to software? The game would lock up during play.
Sometimes just the DMD would freeze and the game could still be played.
This issue was not present the night before.
On my 2nd ball about to start multi ball with 68mil showing the game locked up. Hate when that happens."
Definitely sounds familiar to what's been reported in this thread.
