Answers: A GFCI works by checking the currrent deliver on the "hot" (black) wire is like as the current returning on the neutral. If the two are not exactly equal, that indicates there is a escape path to ground, and that will trip the GFCI. If yours trips, find the offending appliance and find it fixed or replace it. Also remember that additional outlets can be "daisey chained" from the GFCI, so in attendance may be several to check.
Lastly, you could have a doomed to failure GFCI - as a laast resort, replace it.
I have also have GFCIs trip from nearby lightning strikes.
