    I am not an electrician but have a lot of wiring experience. Never seen a breaker "fry", but maybe because i know what im doing.

    When you say "fry" what exactly do you mean? Is it physically burnt, when you reset it, it trips, or do you reset it and no electricity flows to the outlet. If the breaker keeps tripping, it could be a couple of possible issues, including a short at one of the outlets or a short somewhere along the line, possibly from a staple or nail from molding.

    If you dont know what you are doing, leave it off and wait for help. Checking for continuity across the hot, ground and nuetral wires is where i would start.
