What do you mean by "circuit"?  Everything on one breaker?  On one 
outlet?  Both halves of an outlet?  Are there any power bars in use?  It 
could be one side of the standard split 240V feed.  If this is the 
cause, it would affect everything on one side of the breaker panel, but 
not the other.   Please try and isolate *EXACTLY* how the various 
devices are connected, otherwise we're only guessing.  If the problem is 
beyond your abilities to identify, please call an electrician.
