There is a serious problem with my 2nd gen 16 gig touch

Question

ive had this problem for almost a couple months now,and its only been recently that i started to seek some real help.
- for starters, my ipod crashes.... All the time. when its running, i can play music, go thru apps, etc, but not very long, as it just blanks out, or the screen turns white...
- when that happens, i try to do a hard reset. the apple sign shows, but here is where it gets interesting. a series of things can happen here....
-the ipod just shuts off.
-it will white screen.
-orange lines will show on the screen.
-a series of other colors will show, almost rainbow, more like plaid.
-the apple sign will just have pink and purple moving pixels in it.
-random code will display, ending in "we're hanging here".
-the apple sign will just be purple, and the rest of the screen shows green.
- the apple sign will be somewhat animated, like its having a seizure, and its pixels distorted.
everytime i do a hard reset, one of these, if not something else, occurs. if not, it goes back to the main screen, and i can use it again, for however long it holds out.
if someone can figure out some solution to this before i just try and send it to apple, it would be awesome.
thanks for reading about my r-tard ipod touch!

1. Get your iPod checked. Here are the UK iPod service FAQs: http://www.apple.com/uk/support/ipod/service/faq/
2. Why don't you make some playlists of the music you want on your iPod and sync the selected playlists rather than dragging the individual songs to your iPod. That way you only have to drag them into a playlist (or a few playlists) once and sync those playlists.
