Does this happen often or is this the only time? It could be a power fluctuation on your mains because the electronics inside the computer, modem and tv are sensitive enough to register even a split second drop in power at which point they reset themselves.
It's possible that changing a setting in the BIOS of the PC will let it boot up after a power outage without you having to switch it back on manually.
I think there is also something in BIOS called "Spread Spectrum" which should help against inteference like this.
