I reset all breakers a couple times....nothing. Can 1 outlet go bad and disrupt the circuit?

If you have reset the breaker, and it is still not solving the problem -- then either the circuit is overloaded (how much is plugged in there anyway?), or ... you have too many outlets on the circuit to begin with.
NOW would be a good time to check and see what and how much you have plugged into those outlets -- and start powering down (unplug some stuff!) After that, then it is a good time to hire an Electrician to come to the home and look at your breaker box (and maybe add another breaker and split the number of outlets between the two breakers now to lighten the load).

You may need a fuse.
Try resetting the breaker again. First of all turn off for a few minutes to let the switch cool down - so to speak! After it's been off for a while try again!
Yes, 1 outlet can get over heated and shut down the whole circuit!

The breaker to which this particular line is connected needs to be replaces.! Take it out and go to the hardware store and get the same replacement.

Call a electrician,if a wire came loose and you don't see it ,everytime you flip that breaker you could cause it to ark and possibly spark a flame.
