Maintenance/Repairs

I have a 94 volvo 850 wagon. i am the second owner of this car and i have had no major problems with it until recently. When the temperature outside drops to 40* or below my car has trouble staying on. Staying on being the key words. the car will start and rev for two seconds and then die. after turning it on several times this way the car will usually turn on. This process can take up to 15 min sometimes. occasionally a loud buzzing noise will come from the drivers side dash. when this happens i know after i hear that sound the car will turn on. once the car is on it is perfectly fine all day. what could be causing this problem?
