I was recently asked to attach a debugger to my game server to help facilitate in a more comprehensive crash dump analysis. It was a bit tedious at first so I figured posting something may help others in the future if they should need to do the same.
This website offers a good walk-through to get things rolling:

One of the larger points is that you need windbg 32bit because srcds is run at 32bit. That was a problem for me as the installers all forced me to go with 64bit since I was on windows 2003, 64bit.
I also had errors with the installation of the windows developer tools web download for net 4. So I went with this version instead, which installed nicely:

Of course, as I said before this was forcing me to the 64bit version but it installed the required .NET framework I needed to get the program running. After that, I found this website which had a standalone version of the x86 debugger:

Once that was downloaded and started, I attached it to the srcds process, typed G (Thanks TnT, Asherkin, psychonic), and things were rolling. I only mention this part as I actually forgot about typing G in at first, and began to panic as it kept locking up the srcds process.
So, the TL : DR version:
Download and install:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=3138\
Then download and run:

Finally, press f6, attach to srcds, type g to continue, and wait!
