What that means is that this software has shown itself in the past to
be buggy and interfere with Cygwin's operation, not the other way
around.

Blue screens occur because of buggy kernel or driver code.  The default
Cygwin installation doesn't provide any code like this and no Cygwin
installation enables any driver code by default.  It looks like you've
installed all Cygwin packages but unless you knowingly configured a Cygwin
package (ioperm for example) to enable a driver, Cygwin can't be the source
of the blue screens you've been experiencing.  You might take a look at
the Windows logs to see if they can give you more insight into the culprit.
