Dell optiplex 3020 started rebooting randomly for some days and then shut down by itself while booting up and started showing blinking orange light. When put in sunlight for some time, it starts normally but shuts down by itself before even reaching lock screen and again starts showing orange light again.

Hi @dhsiejbs
A blinking amber Power LED is an error code telling you what the problem is.
Here's how to interpret what the error code is:
"Amber LED blinking scheme – The pattern is 2 or 3 blinks followed by a short pause then x number of blinks up to 7. The repeated pattern has a long pause inserted in the middle. For example 2,3 = 2 amber blinks, short pause, 3 amber blinks followed by long pause then repeats.
Here's the Dell Optiplex 3020 SFF owner manual and the Dell Optiplex 3020 MT owner manual (you didn't specify which type you had) that will help.
Go to p.42 (SFF model) or p.39 (MT model) to view the possible causes for all the error codes.
