apple logo flashing when charging, and it wont turn on

my iPod (5th generation) ran out of charge and when i went to plug it in, the apple logo just flashes and it won't turn on. It has done this before but then just turn on after a few tries but i've been trying for days and it won't work. Also, occasionally my iPod just turns off without me even touching it, usually when playing music and doesn't turn on until i charge it (even if it had full power). Can anyone help?!
