Imagine you’re a detective, investigating a murder. It’d probably help a lot if you could somehow examine the victim’s brain and see what their eyes were seeing when they died. Maybe you could find important clues as to who killed them.

Memory dump is kinda like that. It’s a record of a machine’s RAM’s state at the moment it crashed. Which drivers were loaded, what processes were running, what was cached, generally what and how the system was doing. You take a look at that to hopefully figure out what caused the crash.
