I had my DMR out yesterday [mid 20s F] for about 3 hours] no problems. 
I use the manual advance when I can as it saves lots of battery.
The black frames may not be related to the DMR, but to the mirror/aperture 
linkages being sticky or needing an adjustment. 
I suppose it could be made worse when it's cold.
