This really annoys me. My computer sometimes shuts down by itself. Apparently
it only occurs when one of the green lights(below the power button) go
flashing yellow. There's absolutely no virus, worm, or spyware in my
computer. And there's also lots of free space in memory and storage. Any
ideas what might be the cause? Any help is appreciated.

Perhaps your computer is overheating. Check that the fans are operating and
that vents are not blocked. If you have a desktop, you should consider also
opening the computer and cleaning out any dirt.

Check your Power-Savings configuration. The amber light's replacing
the green power light usually indicated that the computer is going into
Standby.
