I unplugged everything from all outlets on this circuit and turned the

Would it trip anyway if I were screwed into a wire? We'll see, if it happens
again I'll call an electrician.

Thanks


take each item you unplugged and plug into a different circuit.

sounds like you ran your new mount into a wire in wall.

bad things happen

Plug in the TV first and see what happens. The TV is grounded (in all
likelihood) so if you nipped the wire plugging in the TV COULD trip
either the GFI or the breaker.
