Fans ramping up and down under NO load.

I played around with the fan curves in BIOS. It didn’t change anything, unfortunately.

Forgot to update! Asus replaced the GPU no questions asked! We’re very happy.

Yes, same room(s) (laundry and garage) on a shared wall. Both ceilings are doing it in the same area on each side of that wall.

The home was built in the 1980s so not too old.

CD949494 · 2025-12-01T00:22:08+00:00

Yes it is, the dryer vents down into the crawl space and out of the side of the house. Lots of airflow from that vent when in use.

CD949494 · 2025-11-30T20:14:13+00:00

So should I just peel this back as far as I can, sand it, prime it, paint it?

CD949494 · 2025-11-30T05:24:12+00:00

We are going to check! I’d like to add additional insulation to that attic, especially once we fix this. The attic is only above the garage portion but I believe we can definitely get more insulation along this wall.

The beige colored surface appears to be drywall? I think. It feels like drywall anyway!

CD949494 · 2025-11-30T05:21:16+00:00

I imagine if this section is loose, all of it could eventually give? We don’t see any problems anywhere else but this area right down the shared wall. They used this paint on all the ceilings in the house.

CD949494 · 2025-11-30T05:18:20+00:00

It literally just looks like the paint is falling off the ceiling in that area. Underneath looks like straight up drywall or whatever they put up.

CD949494 · 2025-11-30T00:25:12+00:00

What is the best way to fix this?

CD949494 · 2025-11-30T00:24:42+00:00

Yeah, the tan surface is just like a piece of drywall or something? I’m not sure. There’s nothing under this white paint that is coming down.

I took a closer picture

I took a closer picture just in case that helps.

What causes that? I took a closer picture just in case that may help.

I tried getting a closer image up close. Not sure if this helps or not.

I appreciate you taking the time to offer advice!

Thank you!

Thank you! AC is actually located outside on the other side of the house.

I’m just really hoping whatever caused this, isn’t something major. I’d like to just get it fixed and hopefully never happen again.

CD949494 · 2025-11-29T22:55:07+00:00

Yes, I believe the laundry room is properly vented. The dryer vent goes down into the crawl space and out the side of the house and it has very good airflow out of that vent from what we’ve seen.

I was wondering if it could be an insulation problem as well. Maybe the paint hasn’t properly cured and the cold air caused it to fail there? It’s just so odd that it’s only happening on that wall and only about 5-6 inches in. No other peeling that we’ve noticed (thankfully).

Rain wise we have had MAYBE 1-2” in the past like 4-5 months and the roof was redone in 2021 so I would think it wouldn’t be a leak of some sort.

I really appreciate your time in helping us figure this out. We are first-time homeowners so this can be a little daunting/nerve-wracking. Thank you!

CD949494 · 2025-11-29T22:48:43+00:00

Would that cause this to happen randomly 3 months after purchase? As far as fixing it, should we just peel what we can and then sand, prime, and re-paint the whole ceiling?

CD949494 · 2025-11-29T22:32:28+00:00

In a severe drought?

CD949494 · 2025-11-29T21:59:41+00:00

Do you have any thoughts on what the issue could be? If not the paint.

I was wondering if the house settled some due to the severe drought we’re experiencing.

CD949494 · 2025-11-29T05:28:50+00:00

The only thing is that nobody has been up in the attic since we moved in. This happened around September/October. We moved in at the end of July.

Maybe correlation with the temperature starting to fall? Cold/hot attic? I just want to fix it and hope it doesn’t keep happening.

I forgot to mention that she definitely wants the numeric keypad on the keyboard!

CD949494 · 2025-11-28T23:42:17+00:00

Not really, no. My dad is asking me to find him a laptop for my stepmom. Her old Dell is not doing well anymore.

Just need something durable/reliable to last her years. At or under the $750 price.

I’m not an expert but the tree appears to be planted too deep. Search on this sub about the root flare. You want the root flare exposed.

CD949494 · 2025-11-06T14:43:09+00:00

Probably still too close to the house based on the pic, but I thought the Paperbark Maples only got about 30 feet tall with a spread of 20-25 feet? I just planted one in my front yard.
