Almost endless reasons why.
Usually, files heavily in use at the time of a "rude shutdown" can get corrupted. If you were in the middle of downloading, I'd look into the NIC, and your networking components.
Check Device Manger...make sure your network adapter looks fine.
Possibly remove then add your networking components.
Check your NIC for a link light, and the other end of the cable on your router...link light.

Boot order?
If you're connection is dependent on a MAC address, than the order in which they boot may make a difference. depending on your provider and have things setup. I had this problem with a previous setup of mine.
What I would do is shut everything down, turn off your cable modem. then; get the cable modem up and running, then the router, then the computer you are having problems with now and then the computer thats working now.
