All the outlets in one of the rooms in my house are dead. Lights work but no juice from the outlets. Any idea what I need to do?

Check the flux capacitor. Or get a new house.

Your outlets aren't on the same circuit as your lights then.

Simple stuff first. Did you check your breakers? GFCI?

Did both, nothing.

Do you actually have some GFCI outlets in this room?

None in this room.

And you actually flipped the breaker off and on that controls this room?

Circuit breaker.

It's a GFCI breaker that needs to he reset before it is turned back on.

Sounds like poltergeists.

Sometimes the GFCI is in a completely different part of the house.

+1 I once had a GFCI out on the deck trip, and all the outlets in

Yup. And garages are notorious too.
