I live in a house in N .TX. which has , as usual several 110V AC
plugs..

All of a sudden the 4 in the master bath room stopped working.

then some on the exterior near the kitchen/patio stopped.

I checked allthe breakers. they look fine.

then couple on the main Living room stopped...

THen. the ones in the Bathroom. now work fine.

This is driving me crazy.

how do i fix all of them. and what can be the reason for this to happen

thanks

Almost certain one of those that are not working (including the
possibility of one you have not noticed not working yet) is a GFI and it has
tripped. All the devices you have listed should be GFI protected. Gfi's
may be in the breaker box, but most you will find in a bath, kitchen,
basement or outside.

Plugs are daisey-chained. One plug has a loose connection which prevents it
and/or others downstream from working.
