Why does the power to my bedroom keep going out?

Asked by RocketSquid (3483points) January 1st, 2010

The breaker that leads to my room goes out randomly. Not often, but at least once a month everything will shut down. I can fix it by flipping the breaker, but I’m worried it’s a deeper problem.

I originally thought it was because I had a lot of electronics running and too many things plugged into one outlet, but after moving things around it still happens, even if the only things I have on are my alarm clock and desk lamp.

What should I look for that might be causing this? Is there anything I can do to possibly fix this myself before calling an electrician?
