If the circuit breaker or the GFCI receptacle tripping you are pulling too many amps through the circuit. If that is not the problem you have a problem with the electrical wiring and probably requires an electrician to spot the problem If you are talking about using a different plug in, and it isn't working, the circuit more than likely doesn't have power or the receptacle need to be replaced due to being worn out
