It's exactly that: an info dump produced after your system has crashed. It contains a record of what went tits up and can be sent to Microsoft for debugging.

When your computer restarts it should pop up saying it has recovered from a serious error and do you want to send the file to be debugged. Do a quick virus check on your computer as sometimes they can cause them to happen.
I have found though that if it starts doing it regularly it often tends to be a hardware problem.
