The yellow light is an access light. It means that the media is being accessed or trying to be accessed. If it’s on your case your hard drive is being accessed. If it’s that then my guess is you’re running something in the background that is slowing your system down. If it’s on your CD-Rom then its maybe a dirty CD it’s trying to read or wants to access something off the CD-Rom and there is nothing in it. My best guess is to check your processes running and see if you actually need them all.
