Cold weather + scrolling = crash

As weird as it sounds, when my computer is too cool I often experience a black screen and a system lockup while scrolling (ctrl+alt+del won't reboot the comp.)

It doesn't happen in warm weather, and it doesn't happen when I keep a heater pointed in the general vicinity of the intake fan. I think it's the video card: NVidia GEforce 440MX ... but I can't find anyone who's had the same problem.

Opinions?
