Lighting, Light Fixtures, Ceiling and Exhaust Fans - I Need Major Help On My Fan

okay so im laying under my bed and my fan looked off. so i go up to just adjust it. next thing i know my whole room's power shuts off! I figured out the problem, somehow, if the black wire from the ceiling touches the black wire from the fan, then the rooms power shuts off and i have to go to the garage and enable my power. im very tired of running up and down the stairs trying to get it to work and turn my power back on.

Then I detached everything and checked everything out. I had no "stem" (thing that connects the fan to the ceiling) installed and i lifted my fan up against it and it worked! so somehow that stem is throwing everything off? but how i dont understand!?!? i checked the wires and they seem fine!

plz someone help me im living in TX and im about to shoot the heat. ty

by the way, when i connected it without the stem. I didint have the green wire connected. cuz it was too short to get to. but the fan rotated. then i go to connect the stem and connect the green wire. Nothing....... i take off the green wire...... nothing..........!

arrrgghhh!

ok i just discouinted the green wire which is the ground when the light is on. It was still on. SO what is the purpose of the green wire if not connected, it still works with the fan and light??
