Suggestion: First limit yourself to the modules setup.exe installs by default.

It's unlikely to be the downloading, but possibly could be something triggered by the post-install scripts. Cygwin is entirely user-space; there are no device drivers or other kernel-level parts to it. User-space code can't crash the system. But there is specific software known to interact badly with Cygwin; we call it BLODA. As the FAQ page <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda> says, merely disabling BLODA is often not enough. You have to uninstall it. Read that page for reasons why. Maybe uninstalling AVG completely will help.
