Could a gfi power outlet go bad and not let power on in that run?
Yes, a GFCI outlet can go bad and prevent power from coming through. If the GFCI outlet is faulty or has tripped, it can interrupt the flow of electricity to the entire circuit. In this case, replacing the GFCI outlet may be necessary to restore power to the affected area.
Plugging an electric heater into a GFI outlet caused the lights and other outlets to go out but didn't trip the circuit breaker why?
A GFCI receptacle can pass it's "protection" to other outlets wired from it. If the GFCI trips, all outlets wired from it will "trip" also. A GFCI tripping will not necessarily trip the circuit breaker in the service panel.
What could the problem be if your outlet was working fine yesterday and today it doesn't and you have checked the power box and it does not appear to be tripped?
Has anyone done electrical work recently? If so, a connection came loose or was wired incorrectly. If not, ...same thing....a wire either came loose, burned in half, etc. Or the receptacle went bad (they can and will fail occasionally). Breakers go bad too if tripped a lot. Breakers can sometimes trip and not appear to be tripped as well (especially if they're old). Try cycling the breaker off and on.
How to install an outlet in a wall?
To install an outlet in a wall, first turn off the power to the area where you will be working. Cut a hole in the wall where you want the outlet to go. Run electrical wires from an existing outlet or the circuit breaker to the new outlet location. Connect the wires to the outlet, following the manufacturer's instructions. Secure the outlet in the wall and cover it with a wall plate. Turn the power back on and test the outlet to make sure it is working properly.

Why would the two light fixtures and one overhead fan in your bathroom all go dead at once and remain dead even though the breaker has not tripped?
Proably due to a GFCI breaker located in an outlet either in the bathroom or on the same circuit, possibly in another room like the kitchen or other bathroom. You will see the button on the outlet....

What's wrong when the lights go out and sockets fail then work again after 30 minutes?
A power outage perhaps. A blown fuse that someone changed. A tripped breaker that was reset.

First, check to see if the power outlet is working by plugging in another device. If the outlet is working, try replacing the fan's fuse or resetting the circuit breaker. If these steps don't work, it may be a problem with the fan motor or wiring, and you may need to contact a professional for further repairs.
