iPod Touch won't turn on !!

I have an 8 GB iPod Touch and it does not turn on, it was working and it just went off and won't turn on. I tried to connect it to iTunes but it is still the same.

Does anyone know what's wrong and how do you fix it ?

Windows Vista, iOS 4

I went to the apple support site and was directed to connect directly to my computer usb power for 10 mins or more then press both the reset and home buttons together for 10 seconds or more. It worked but I'd still like to know why it happened in the first place? And why a new ipod touch $$$ purchased directly from apple doesn't qualify for direct support. Next time I'll buy a disposable samsung.

I need help & I don't know where to post this. My ipod ran out of battery yesterday so I plugged it into my pc & it asked me if I wanted the new software, and I accidently clicked yes (I've been trying to avoid it because when my sisters did it it took allll their content off). So then after downloading it, i got a message saying that I needed to restore it to the factory settings. I was like alright, and clicked yes. It went through the whole thing and then i got a message saying "your ipod will start up in 10 seconds" so I waited & it started up again but then it said I needed to restore it to the factory settings AGAIN. And then the cycle keeps repeating its self & my ipod is now useless. Any help?
I have the 3rd generating ipod touch & on friday I will have had it for a year.
