You don't want the CPU "grease" to ooze onto the rest of the chip or the contacts on the motherboard. A small bit usually does the trick.
Did you re-connect all of the power supply, hard drive, case connector, LED and other jumpers on the motherboard EXACTLY as they were before? Did you make sure to plug in the CPU fan connector and any other case fan connectors back to where they were originally connected on the motherboard? Did you un-mount and re-mount the motherboard? If so, did you use the same mountings, stands, spaces and/or grommets are before?

yes everything is the same as it was

I ask all of this because if this problem occurred AFTER you reconnected the motherboard and/or other components, something which has changed in the process is likely the cause.
Did you reconfigure or reflash the motherboard's BIOS? Did you change any jumpers or voltage settings on the motherboard?

no

Did the grease from the CPU end up on any traces or components of the motherboard?

no

Were you careful to reconnect all of the power supply connectors and other external connectors as they were before?

yes yes everything works normally and the fans works great, only the unexpected turn off issue is what makes me wonder.
Is your CPU connected properly and locked down in the socket?
