Power Outage in one socket

We have one outlet in our house that lost power last night. My computer, printer, router and phone were connected to it so it was a pretty heavy load. I checked the breakers and reset all of them one by one but that didn't work. My dad opened up the outlet today and checked to see if there was any power going through it at all and there isn't. Is there anyway to find out WHERE the fault may be?

    Replace the socket. If that doesn't work, it's the wire or the connection at the breaker box. If rewiring at the breaker doesn't fix it, the fault is probably in the wire itself.
