You should never use any kind of liquid to clean a CPU. The best thing to use is compressed air. If a little elbow grease is needed, use a dry toothbrush, but be very careful not to bend any pins. And also be careful not to create static electricity.
If you are wishing to remove excess heat-transferrence compound, do so with a lightly moistened fingertip, and be gentle. You could also use isopropyl alcohol to remove the thermal paste, or purchase a special thermal material remover and surface purifier set.
If using isopropyl alcohol or a special remover, apply some of the liquid with a cotton tip. This will quickly dissolve the thermal paste. Then use a lint free cloth to dry the CPU off. A coffee filter will do as well.

What is wrong when I turn on the computer and it makes repeated attempts to boot?
You have problems with either your hard drive or your CPU. It looks like it's CPU problem. Check the CPU radiator, clean it if it has some dust, aslo you will have to remove it in order to check therma paste which is between the CPU and the radiator. If it's dry and not flexible you have to clean the CPU and radiator from the paste and put new one. You can purchase a paste online.
You applied hot glue to your old CPU as part of a presentation display. If you clean it off will it still work?
No. Because of the Intricacy of a CPU, no matter where you applied the Glue, you were putting it on necessary computer parts. The glue will rip off some of the parts and the CPU will be rendered useless. Next time you have to present using a CPU, you should probably use one that you will not need anymore. Even if the CPU is from an older model computer, you can still use it to exeplify modern day CPU's.
