More Trouble with my GoPro HD....

So, today was my first day on the mountain with my new GoPro HD. As I began to start filming, I noticed that whenever I tried to stop the recording, the camera would freeze. This freezing would either be shown as the red light being illuminated and the screen frozen, or the entire screen would disappear with the exception of the resolution marker. Throughout the day I had to constantly remove and reassert the battery to get the camera back working. This was very annoying and I am unsure whether there is something wrong with the camera or I am using a wrong type of setting.
Also, I seem to see a strange highlighter yellow color forming around my camera. Maybe this is due to internal leaking? Any responses will be very helpful.

Alright, so I did a test today on whether the camera freezes up only in cold weather or in all conditions.  Inside my house, everything worked perfect but when I placed the camera( with the housing) in the freezer to film, it froze up.  So, the question that comes to mind is that is their a problem with the housing device or the camera itself?

Good news is that the yellow discoloration is just from the oils on your skin. bad news is my GoPro HD works fine outside so it must be your camera call the company.
