We have tested with 1060 3GB under Ubuntu 16.04 with Nvidia driver 390.67 and there were no problems at all. Please let us know your Linux version, Nvidia driver version, and send us the first few minutes from the log file in order to see what is going wrong in your case.
What driver version you can suggest for AMD and Nvidia cards?
P.S. Using polaris, pascal, R9 Tahiti.
