Hello, I have been recently building a pc.
(msi z87-g43 gaming, corsair vengeance 1600mhz 2x4gb ddr3, gtx 770, i5 4430, kingston ssd)
Everything was fine until applying thermal paste to processor. Cooler Master E2 IC essential; was full of watery liquid and some air in it and as soon as i tried to apply, it just squirts the liquid over the processor, motherboard and ram.
We cleaned the motherboard with dry cloth and dried it with a compressor, cleaned the processor and rams.
Now as you can guess, things are not good. Ram slots are not working properly, I tried all possible combinations to the slots and only working* one is when I plug rams to slots 1-2,(I think my mobo's proper installations are 2-4 and 1-3) they are running at 1333mhz and not giving me 8gb of memory at memory stress test of intel's 'extreme tuning utility'.***
Also even if I plug rams to slots 1-2 gtx 770 does not work** at pci-e 3 slot but currently working at pci-e 2 slot.
Should I clean ram slots or mobo with something like alcohol?
Any help would be appreciated; this is my first post, sorry for any mistake.
*(pc starts bios shows up)
**(pc does not start bios does not show up)
***I don't even now if it's normal or not.
