Of course, from a naive user's point of view, *everything* obtained via 
"Cygwin's setup.exe" would seem to be part of "Cygwin"..

Anyway, another stab in the dark is that the X server is stressing 
something in your graphics adapter's drivers that is causing it to BSOD. 
(This sort of stuff happens regularly when Java tries too hard to 
accelerate graphics and tickles graphics bugs).

Get the latest version of your display driver adapters from the 
manufacturer's web site and see if that improves things.
