What could be a ram problem

Yes Im running windows xp on a p4 1.8 512 ddrram,

the problem im having lately is that some time the computer wont boot up the next day when i try to use it when the night before i shut down right.

I push the power button and the computer turn on but no video is on the screen and the light on the front of the tower blinks from green to orange. there is no beeping noise it just makes a sound like its trying to start. the cd rom lights blink and the key board lights blinks but no video.

so when i push the power button to turn it off then back on the light stays green but the cpu fan is no longer turning like its off.

so when i unplug the computer and the light on the mother board goes off then i plug it back in and push the power button again it blinks from orange to green and again no video

but sometimes if i push the power button quick it well start and i get a video and the computer works fine but this getting to be a pain in the but.

please help
