Possible a loose connection. Either a junction box or possible an outlet. If it is just outlets that are going out check the next one closest to the breaker box that is still on. Sometimes it can be in the next room if there is a common wall.

Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

Maybe you have a 'brownout', vs. a blackout. Brownouts are the result of undervoltages. i.e. 90v instead of 120v. This can cause lights, etc. to work more dimly than usual, and some appliances may work while others need the actual 120v. Another possibility is that you lost only half of your split single phase service. This would cause all 120v appliances connected to the good 'half' to work normally. The 120v appliances on the other 'half' would not work, and all 240v appliances would not work.
