I think it could be because because of the whole (local area) network being knocked out, because there are IP address conflicts when the connections are remade after the power reconnection. Perhaps the router's DHCP table is lost, but the computers still use the same IP addresses and the router gets confused, or the router initialises and connects all the computers, and when the modem (which is physically the same thing) is finished starting, it isn't able to connect because it needs the first IP address there is, which is already taken.
Try (maybe before you go to bed so there is less inconvenience because of no internet access)unplugging everything (except power and ADSL line), and then cutting and restoring power to the router, leave ti a few minutes, and then connecting the computers.

What the hell? It wouldn't be over heating. Don't make useless posts.
Mine does. That isn't a useless post.
