Crash Dump

A crash dump is a snapshot of a computer's memory taken when the system encounters a serious error, often called a 'blue screen' or 'stop error.' It captures information about what the computer was doing and which programs or processes were running at the time of the crash. This data helps technicians and developers analyze the cause of the failure, diagnose issues, and improve system stability. Think of it as a detailed report that provides insight into what went wrong during a critical failure, aiding in troubleshooting and fixing the problem efficiently.
