I would like to know, if the outside temperature has anything to do, with if my computer comes on or not? When it is less then 50 degrees my computer will not come on.

Computers actually thrive in cool dry environments. Heat is a computers worse enemy. And moisture to that and it has a chance of shorting out. Humidity builds inside on the circuits (they sweat) and that is when the damage happens.
As for why your PC isn't running when it is cold is a mystery to me. I have worked on PCs for over 20 years and this is the first time i have heard of this kind of problem.
Does the fan on the back of the PC start up when you hit the power?
If it does do you hear the hard drive spin as well?
If both of these things happen does the monitor have power? Have you tried the monitor on a different computer to make sure the monitor isn't the problem? If it is an older monitor the cold could affect it.
If you like you can send me a message thru Thrifty and I'll help you out with it if I can.

Few month ago my total system burned down. I needed to replace SMPS, motherboard, DVD writer, and graphix card. Now my desktop won't start up if it is not on for one day. During boot it is showing that a disk error occurred. Sometimes it shows, "could not find boot media". Then needs to wait until it heats up or has to be put in the sun. Then it starts work fine.
I am not getting where the main fault is occurring. I changed cmos, and motherboard. I also discharged all power by disconnecting all of the cables.
Stop now if you want to save your data and not lose everything on your hard drive. You have a hard drive error that is filled up with bad sectors and the disk is dying on you. The more you force this to work the less chance you have of recoverying your data. Pull the hard drive out of the computer and backup all your important information on another computer, then swap out the hard drivce.
