New Electrical Outlets Not Working?

I am in the process of changing all the light switches and outlets in my home. I changed the first switch, which was not grounded so I grounded it and it seems to be OK, but when I started to change the outlets none of them are working in that room.

I have checked the breaker box it isn't tripped. Do you think it is the breaker box that needs to be replaced? I have reset it. The light switch is working fine and it is on the same circuit that the outlets are on. Please help!

Safely first with electricity! If I were you, I would call an electrician. While there are tons of trouble shooting articles and videos, sometimes you just need a pro to check it out and get you back on the right track!

Maybe there is an electrician on this site who can help, but I wouldn't take self help tips from a lay person, but that is just me! I am a little paranoid about power/electric/gas issues. They are just too dangerous for me!

It could be that too many things are on the same circuit. If you arent sure what to do, call an electrician in. If you do faulty work and a fire results, insurance wont pay.
