First it was the old one.

I played with replacing simply the receptacles on that circuit.

I then DID install a NEW GFCI.

I still have the same problem.

That is why I'm going into the panel.

It could be as simple as a corroded neutral or ground in the back wall 
of the panel.

Tightening them all "should" resolve the issue.

I read Joe's comments, and I don't have rusty staples anywhere that I 
can see.  Lord knows, most of all the wiring is visible in the utility room.
