I read somewhere once, and have experienced, that a blue screen (crash) usually indicates memory problems on the card (overclocked too much) and a black screen indicates core problems (again with overclocking core too much). Also trying to run too low of a power limit or voltage can cause crashes. If down clocking doesn't solve your problem look to drivers as the next in line to fix.

It was the drivers, in C:Nvidia folder I had 3 different drivers, removed all of them and let the last one and it is running stable since yesterday night more than 15 hours no problems, hopefully it is fixed. I let all cards in stock settings as I thought it was overclocking but it was not. I have to try now with a bit of over clock as 1 x 1060 plus 2 x 1050 ti is giving me in latest 1.8.1.5 in Nicehash 0.0004 btc daily with a bit of overclocking maybe I can reach 0.0005 btc daily with which I would be happy.

I finally made it to work at my motherboard , put all 6 PCIE slots to gen1 in the motherboard, then I completely uninstall the driver with DDU. Reinstalled latest driver of Nvidia 388.31 and after that expanded the file that was giving the system error. From yesterday night the board is running stable without problems which I hope it is fixed now.

Here is the guide I followed. I followed the first step of the guide as all others were not related to me.

A few weeks ago I was having problem with "VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (nvlddmkm.sys)" and I thought it was from a Biostar board. Now yesterday in my Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3 board I have at home running 1 x 1050 ti and 1 x RX 480 without problems from many months, once I added a new GTX 1060 3GB it started displaying the error again. My power supply is good enough, drivers are the latest one and even did DDU and reinstalled again 388.31 latest one. It's no problem of overheating as my 1060 card is about 48 degree celsius.

Funny thing this was happening in Biostar where I had 2 x 1050 ti and 1 x 1060. I believe this is a problem of Nvidia cards which Nvidia needs to fix when running two different of Nvidia cards for mining .

Tried all internet guides on how to fix this without success. What's wrong with Nvidia lately ?
