What can cause multiple outlets to stop working?

If multiple outlets are not working, it might be because a GFCI outlet tripped somewhere else on the same circuit. If your outlets are not working after a power outage, there is a good chance there is a tripped GFCI that needs resetting.

Why did my power go out but the breaker didn't trip?

A circuit breaker can fail without tripping and is an indication it needs to be replaced. It can also mean there are wiring issues with the circuit itself, such as exposed/loose wiring, overheating, and unregulated voltage.

Why am I not getting power to some outlets?

If your outlet has short circuited or been overloaded, then your circuit breaker may have shut off its power. Check other nearby outlets to see if they are working. If they also are dead, then go to your circuit breaker. When a circuit breaker has tripped, the lever will usually flip to the middle or off position.
