Hello there Pink_desire,
It sounds like your phone is unresponsive during the startup process, even after you reset the phone. If this is the reset you are doing:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

I would next try putting the phone into recovery mode, and restoring it with this article:

If that does not get your phone going, I would next seek service for the phone with this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
