Breaker tripping
So I bought this house in 2020. It was built in 2009. My upstairs office has always been a bit weak on the circuit and tripped occasionally. I'm an avid gamer so I have a lot of things plugged in. I realized quickly that I could not set all of my things up all one circuit. I currently have everything plugged into two surge protectors with drop cords to two other rooms on two other circuits. The breaker for the main office room is tripping with increasing frequency. I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject overall. What can I do to mitigate this problem? Is there a way I can increase the resiliency on the main office circuit so I don't have to try and spread things out to different circuits? I don't have any burn marks or any smell of smoke or fire just to throw that out there as well.
