Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping

My circuit breaker keeps tripping about every 30 minutes. It's never done it before; why is this?

Maybe you have too many things plugged in somewhere that it can't handle the load and is trying to protect itself by tripping and shutting off. (10/12/2010)

From my experience, if the breaker just started this constant tripping, the breaker needs to be replaced. I strongly advise that you get someone with experience to change it out as it is a dangerous job for someone with little or no experience. (10/12/2010)

Hello, please call an electrician. This could possibly be a fire hazard. (10/15/2010)
