cygwin X reboots my PC randomly

I'm running DLL release version is 1.5.10-3 on Windows 2000 Pro and a 1 yr
old 3.0 GHz PC.
My video card is
nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 w/AGP8X, 128 MB video ram.
Windowing env - /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker.exe
After I have the cygwin environment up with windowing started via
startxwin.sh, and a couple of xterm windows up,
after a random amount of time (several hours, 2 days...), my PC suddenly
reboots.
This only happens when I run cygwin. I run an older version on my laptop w/o
any problems, I love it.
I have checked FAQs, mailing list archives, etc.
I know this may be difficult to resolve.
I would like to use it more, so if anyone can provide a clue to what might
be the cause, it would be appreciated.
