Could be a contact issue HANNIBAL

I have had chips do many strange things also with cold bugs.

This is what I believe and I have nothing to back it up.
Sometimes the traces for memoy on the back side of the MB can act up when to much force is used to mount the pot or evap and when under extreme cold they do funny things.

Also, again no proof but with talking with many people.

The caps on the MB can do strange things when they get under extreme cold for long periods of time.

Even tho we do our best to insulate our setups there can still get small amounts of moisture under the socket. I know from experiance that when I start getting very strange cold bugs or other wierd things happening, that if I pull off the chip and use a blow dryer right in the socket for 5-10 minutes and reinstall the chip it goes back to normal operation. Now it could be the fact that I remounted the chip, or all the componets on the MB warmed back up, I don't know, but that has helpped me.

I just don't know

But I do know that I can go for days with the same setup and not change a thing and everything is all good. Then sometimes funny things start happening and I feel the need to tear down the setup and start over and that usually fix's the problems.
