Why i can't combine my 5 GPUS : 3 Nvidia GTX 1060 6 GB + 1 AMD RX 480 + MSI RX 460, in 1 system mining rig, to mine with Nicehash, it is akways crash , but if i install only 3 gtx1060 without rx480 and rx 460 it runing normal, but again if combine my 5 gpus all in 1 system mining rig it crash again? please help!!!

I might be wrong, but I think that it's best not to combine GPUs from different manufacturers (Amd/Nvidia) due to driver software related issues. Does your machine start without issues when having all the GPUs connected? What drivers are you using when having all of them connected? Also, make sure Crossfire/SLI is disabled.

I run a 2 rx 470s, 1 rx570, 1 rx 480, and 2 GTX 1070s and its fine. You have to figure out which algo you are running that causing the amd cards to crash when it runs. It takes quite a bit of playing or just turn off the algos that you know you don't need. Dagger crashes my rig due to my overclocks.

You can try to mine with Winminer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2004875.0

When combining Nvidia and AMD GPUs, I've personally had the best luck using Windows and installing the AMD cards first (using one of them in the primary physical x16 slot for display) first, and Nvidia cards second. Perhaps this will work for you.
Remove Nvidia cards, reinstall Windows, install AMD drivers only, reboot, test to ensure mining works on those AMD GPUs, then attempt to install your Nvidia cards one-by-one, installing the Nvidia driver after the first Nvidia GPU is installed.

Wow, it seems like very cumbersome to install drivers for mixing GPU. What about mixing GPU in linux? Anyone does it before, is it working fine?

You have a setup problem. I run a mix of cards. I currently have 2 1060's, 1 570, 1 290, and 2 970s all in the same rig. I was running win 7 64 and moved to win 10 and didn't have a problem with nicehash or winminer either time. I am using the newest drivers.
I would reset my bios, wipe the drivers, and start over. (Double check your risers. Had 2 bad risers that gave me fits)

Its really impossible for anyone here to tell you specifically what to do without being able to look at the system which is why I gave my suggestion. I know mixed cards work fine. That means there is a defective piece of hardware or it is improperly set up. You can work your way backwards or reset your bios to default settings, wipe the drivers, and start from scratch.
I've had to do both. Personally, I would start working backwards.
If you have 3 cards running, start swapping cards to those good risers and make sure all the cards work. (ie. Install all 3 Nvidia cards and get them running, then remove 1 card and add a different card in its place.)
Then I would start swapping risers to make sure they all work (ie. Take out one riser which you already know identifies a card and just switch in an unused riser to make sure it still sees the card).
At this point you know you have good risers and good cards.
Now I would go back to the 3 good cards I had running and start switching them one at a time to different PCIE slots. Make sure all the PCIE slots are working.
From there, you have a bios setting problem or a driver problem.
It doesn't take as long as it sounds. Just a few mins to check all the hardware.
For me, I would wipe all the drivers and install all 3 Nvidia cards with the newest driver, then add 1 AMD card at a time with a clean install of the driver.
If your not seeing all the cards, you have the settings in your bios wrong.
IF you are seeing all the cards all the cards but you are crashing, most likely you have a power problem. You never posted which board you are using, power supply, memory, driver version, os system, ect.. which we would need to offer other suggestions.
When we started mining I thought you plug in the cards and internet, boot it up and start mining. It is actually quite a bit of work. You need to systematically track down problems to find the root.

Try disabling the settings software for both AMD and NVIDIA via running msconfig.exe as administrator from the start menu. It might work that way.
