Currently it's running fine.
It's sitting outside on my window sill, with -4 to -14°C around it, but I think in a nice box.

I wouldn't think that either the GM tube or the electronics would be affected by low temperatures. Well, maybe not until down to -25 or so :)

My only guess is that there might be a condensation problem inside the box?

What's the USB cable length ? I had similar problems when I used cheap, 4m long cable. Voltage drop was a bit too much, also longer cable increases the delays up to a point where the device will stop responding once in a while.

Btw, As far as I remember some of the detector components are not rated for operation below 0°C, so long exposure to low temperatures might be a bit risky.

Cable length shouldn't be a problem, it's 1,5m.
Temperatures below Zero were there, down to -13,6°C at night and even in the day it was probably not more than 5°C. It's in a very professional box, with O-ring sealing, and due to it's power consumption probably a bit heated inside, but it's still outside on a windowsill.
Now that it's over zero again most of the time it's working again faultless.
