It does the trick for me too.  For a long time I've been unable to build 
emacs using cygport's default for parallel make (-j5 because I have 4 
cores).  When I did this, I would either have the computer freeze (and I 
would have to shut it down with the power button) or else I would get a 
BSOD.

Since stopping PCA, the problem seems to be gone.
