When the fans come on, that places additional load on the alternator which needs mechanical energy from your engine -- and that is just enough to kill your engine (because the engine is not running right). If you disconnected your alternator, and the fans were on, it likely would not kill your engine. You could test it that way to eliminate the red herring of some sort of bizarre wiring malfunction that involved the fans that was causing your engine to run poorly.
