After a lot of tries I managed to install 10.12.3 in nvme on Alienware 17 R4 (7700hq ,1060) .

After successfull installation, I get kp when I boot into installed sierra.
Booting is also quite unstable, getting different kp's, booting to perfect installation after many reboots.

Please refer to attached clover & pre-kp screenshot.

Your Clover/kexts is incorrect (you have duplicate kexts loading from 10.12 and Other).
Need photo of KP.
Also, please fix your profile.. it indicates Broadwell, not Kaby Lake.
Did you set DVMT-prealloc to 64mb? If not, you will need to use an invalid ig-platform-id.
See guide for details:

Deleted the other kext's ,getting new type of KP.
I used Disable minStolenSize less or equal fStolenMemorySize assertion, 10.12.0 ( (based on Austere.J patch).

aida64 is showing dedicated memory- 0mb & dynamic memory 125mb. Windows is showing 128mb video memory. So is my DVMT 128MB?
 
Getting the same KP. I dont think graphics might the issue.

Need a clear photo of the panic (can't even see a KP in that image).
Make sure you read the guide regarding DVMT-prealloc.
 
today, the system reaches to KP too fast.

Why are you not installing 10.12.5?
From where did you download macOS?
On what hardware did you create your USB installer?
