I installed git on my system using official package from git-scm.com but I can't launch it, I am always getting this error:

C:\Users\petr.bena>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i
      0 [main] us 0 init_cheap: VirtualAlloc pointer is null, Win32 error 487
AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x68570000, RegionSize 0x40000, State 0x10000
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for
cygwin's heap, Win32 error 0

At some point this could be an issue with cygwin, but I am not sure. Did anyone had similar issue?
