When I call the Imagick constructor PHP/CGI crashes.
The imagick .dll is loaded in the php.ini file (extension) and I've got imagick installed.
I am using EngineX (NGINX) and PHP 5.3.4.
I am using thread safe version of PHP and Imagick.dll (ext)
Any ideas why this is happening?
Check which compiler your version of PHP is compiled with. If you're using the Imagick dll file from the author it will be compiled with VC9. You need to have a version of PHP that is also compiled with VC9 for this to work.
You have different compilers for imagick and php as Jeremy said. You can check your compiler with echo phpinfo();
There is good instruction (but this guy use apache)

There is an IMPORTANT note. As they said ImageMagick 6.6.6-5 is compiled with VC10. So if you make as in instruction i give, it will be crashed anyway. To fix it use ImageMagick-6.6.2-Q16 (this build is the last that works for me. Seems it compiled with VC9).
look here for old releases

I make this stuff works just a couple hours ago :)
I had the same issue. What helped was switching to the latest beta version. In unix you use pecl install imagick-beta
