I suspect of configuration / permissions problems...
Are you setting up some kind of chroot?
Also, is there any output on the /var/log/sshd.log file?

At the first sight, no. But it's not clear if you are using the
vanilla standard config files.
If you did some change, it could be important to share with us.

You can also try to run sshd "by-hand" to show us some verbose info:
cygrunsrv -E sshd
/usr/sbin/sshd -ddde

Then you can try to connect to your PC and see if the generated output
gives you any clue.
NOTE: It's possible that the problem doesn't show up in this debugging
mode. You will be running the sshd deamon as yourself, not as the
SYSTEM account.
