I turned the TV on, it went out along with my kitchen light which is hard wired. None of my curcuit breakers tripped, and these should be on seperate ones anyway. I have two outlets that don't work and one light in a different room.

Somewhere in the house you have GFI breakers, Bathrooms, Kitchen, Garage. Go and reset them it should work.
Check your breakers they may look not tripped and still may be.

Are you sure the breaker isn't tripped? When a breaker goes from an overload the little breaker switch doesn't really move completely off. If you wiggle each of the breakers a little you will probably find one that feels loose. All you have to do is flip the little switch to the off position, & back on to reset the breaker.
But BEFORE you do that, make sure you have reduced the load on your circuit, or your breaker will just trip again.
I am seeing more questions about breakers overloading, & tripping these days. It must be all of the christmas lights going up that is bringing this on.

I had the same exact problem 2 weeks ago...They had to replace the main breaker outside the house. Only the electric company can do it. The part cost 6 dollars but the company has too come and turn all the power out.

Are you by any chance having a storm where you are right now? I had this happen a few years ago and it was caused by a power surge and I randomly lost appliances around the house (2 of 4 tv's, a radio, a clock, 2 lights, etc.) I don't know if this is your problem but good luck!

If items went out on different circuits at the same time Sounds like a wire blew out and took another one along side it.Did you try and cycle the breakers. Sometimes they trip but don't show.

check for a burnt fuse in an appliance. If you have a power bar, it might have just tripped the power bar.
Check the fusebox again. It may not look tripped but it will be loose and you will be able to jiggle it.
