As Marco mentioned, setup.exe is a user-space program, not a kernel one.
Therefore, it is not possible for it to be crashing your system.  If you
are experiencing a blue-screen or any kind of O/S crash, this can only
be initiated by kernel-level code.  Beyond the obvious O/S code itself,
things like hardware drivers and some virus and malware detectors fall
into this category.  Your best bet is to look at any recent O/S, driver,
virus, and malware updates or additions that could be responsible.
Looking for a Cygwin-specific solution is at best a time-sink.
