I am having the same problem with Nvidia GTX 1060 and 1050 ti and so far I haven't been able to solve the problem.

So far I have tried

1) Updating BIOS, latest version of Windows and latest driver version of cards.
2) Changed risers a few times
3) Enabled or disabled mining mode (I have PRO BTC mining motherboard of Biostar)

What I want to do:

Try the rig with only 1 card for 3-4 days and see if it is stable. Once it is, remove the card and try the next one, once I find out that everyone of my cards is working well, I will try one card and one riser, just like with one card until I spot where the problem comes.

I know it is a long way but this can is the only solution I can think of for your problem.

it is only for eqiuhash.
I tried EBFW miner and z.m.

Claymore eth miner works well.

My problem is in Nicehash. EBWF miner works well, in excavator miner it stops responding after one hour or at best after 3-4 hours. If it is working well in Ethereum why you want to mine Zcash ? Ethereum is better in price and consume less energy than when mining Zcash.

I assume you want to be paid in altcoins otherwise you would be using Nicehash if you wanted to be paid in bitcoin. I am using Nicehash myself.

Even if I use nicehash, no problem on ethash, problem equihash.

So even in Nicehash excavator Equihash miner the same problem ? If this is the problem I don't know what to say, the first time I hear such problem and is the strangest I have ever encountered so far.

Why you want to mine Equihash in the first place, I know the GTX 1070 is the best bang for the buck for Zcash but even in Ethereum they should do 32 Mhash with a bit of overclocking. It is the same profitability, I have a Gigabyte GTX 1070 and it does 450 sol/s with EBWF cuda miner.

I also have GTX1060 3GB rigs. They have the same problem sometimes. But they works usually.
