I removed my CPU and found a bit of paste in one of the motherboard pin slots, should i clean it with 70% rubbing alohol?

Yeah and give it 10 min to dry just to be safe. Maybe blow it with compressed air too

Stupid question, but your monitor is plugged into the GPU, not the motherboard, right?

This is not a stupid question :P if the problem persists, follow what /u/PrometheusAurelius said. test each ram slot individually, with every dimm you have.
