I have had my PC for about a month now, and it has been working wonderfully. I replaced the thermal paste under my CPU (i5 3570k) and some of the thermal paste got into the socket. The thermal paste is non-conductive, but the computer won't boot and the motherboard displays the error code 15, then 51.

The manual states that error 51 means there is a memory initialization error.

Both of the ram sticks were working before, so I have no idea what I can do. I tried cleaning out some of the paste to no avail.
Please help!
