In the dark

I am having a very unusual problem with my home. We just moved in 2 months ago and there were no problems with the side. In our bedroom we had a TV, cable box, clock radio and one light. For the last two months everything was working. Now for what ever reason all the power in bedroom and the adjoining room trips off. It will stay off for an hour or more and then come back on. I have checked the fuses and replaced them. There is no GIFI plug on this circuit. I am totally baffled. What should I be looking for and what is the possible cause of this kind of problem?

I suspect there is a loose connection somewhere, making and breaking, and this connection is getting hot.

Each outlet, switch, and junction box needs to be opened to find the bad connection.

Having done this a few times, my guess is there is a wire at a receptacle that uses the push in type terminal, these are notorious for causing problems.
