When you cause the bluescreen of death a dump file is created (if Windows is configured to do so) and you will have a snapshot of what was going on when you caused the crash. i.e. loaded drivers, what's in memory (depending on crash type) So for example if a driver is causing your system to 'hang' using the Ctrl+Scroll lock you can open the created dump file in Windows debugging tools and identify the culprit.

It is for system developers. Say you wrote some system service or driver that complelety hangs the system. You can force a crash dump and be able to investigate what was happening at the moment that the crash dump was created (by opening the crash dump in a debugger on your dev box, and investigating it). Normally developers would connect a kernel debugger and be able to break in at any time, but this can be a good substitute if the issue only occurs at a customer site.
