I've never, in 32 years in IT, seen a server complain that it was too cold. Until today.

Weird, mate in works home PC wont go on unless the temp is over 12degrees in his spare room. He claims its the only thing that stops it turning on. I doubt him but then again batteries can be effected by temps so maybe there is something to it. We have discussed it at length and im sure he is semi bullshitting me but swears he isnt course there is no other "logical" explanation. Care to elaborate on your issue Hav im curious.

Alternativley give it a few squirts of Viks First Defense that shit is like a wonder cure for cold.

One of our servers on site started sending us warning messages that it was cold. It had stopped the fans, it was freezing.

Turns out that the room it is in has a failed aircon so they opened the window. Overnight, the temp dropped to very cold, so it started complaining.

I know cold affects hard disks - processors love it though ;)
