Hi, The circuit breaker for my bedroom keeps turning off. I unplugged everything but the problem still continues. It will only stay on for two minutes then pop again. Anyone know what to do?

What he said, and leave the breaker off. A fire inside the walls is not a pretty thing.

Call an electrician! That's weird that it trips without anything on though??? Are you SURE you have everything off that circuit? Things in different rooms could very well be on that circuit. Have you plugged in anything new anyplace in the house? You might just need to replace the breaker. But if you try it, make SURE your main breaker is OFF!!!
Good Luck!!

It is either a short in the wiring somewhere, or a faulty breaker. If you don't know how to check these things, call someone who can. If you replace the breaker with a new one, and all is well, that was the problem. If it persists with a new breaker, then there is a short somewhere.

You have a short somewhere, it can be a damaged wire bad light fixture, socket or switch.
Get it checked asap, this is how most electrical fires start.

You have a short circuit. Get an electrician before you have a fire.
