Punctuation makes reading a post much easier.

If I read your question correctly, it sounds like a loose connection somewhere. Could be a splice in a box, or at a terminal in the circuit breaker panel. An electrician will have to do some tracking to find the problem.

If you have back-stabbed connections in that branch circuit, it could be a bad wire connection at one of the receptacles. But it could be a faulty breaker, or rats chewing on wiring in the walls. The fan increases the load, drawing more current thru the bad spot.

It needs repair right away. Get an electrician to fix it, before a hot spot bursts into flame.

It could be several things that are causing it. My bet is on a bad fan. Replace the fan and if it goes away, case solved. If not then call an electrician to run the problem down. Either way you need to contact an electrician to be on the safe side.
