I suspect the problem is not the start up button nor the external 
temperature.  I have found that when the temperature in this room is 
lower than normal freezes are much more likely.  They seem to be 
associated with disc accesses.  I've significantly reduced the 
incidence of problems by stopping NetFetch auto downloading emails 
when it loads.  This allows the machine to warm up before significant 
disc activity is needed.
