I leave my computer on all the time. When I leave my home, I turn off
the heat whenever I feel that inside temperatures will not plummet below
freezing as a result.
If the inside temperature goes down to about 35 degrees F, my computer will
crash. The hard drive will still be spinning. There's no way to reboot it
until inside temperatures again rise to about 65 degrees F. In the
summertime, my computer will crash if the inside temperature rises to about
85 degrees F.
I understand that computer crashes are very common at temperatures above
what is considered normal room temperature. I think it is highly unusual
for my computer to crash at temperatures of about 35 degrees F. Don't
most computers work OK at temperatures this cold?

P.S. Speaking of temperatures, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
where I live, we experienced today record-breaking high temperatures for
this time of year. It was a beautiful sunny day, 70 degrees F. Normally
we would expect temperatures ranging somewhere between zero degrees and
forty degrees F. for this time of year.
