No, that little dab should not cause any issues.
Just clean it with some rubbing alcohol if you are worried.
What blue screen issue are you getting and what is the background (is this a new build, a working build, a working build that you just upgraded, etc).

it's a new computer. i just bought a new i5 6600k, maximus viii hero, 16GB of ram. the first time i got windows 10 booted and it worked after like 15 mins when i updated my drivers, my pc got a bsod -> critical process died and now i get driver_not_less_or_irql.
so i dont think its the processor but the motherboard is causing the issue.
Now when i install windows, after the first time it restarts after completing the first tasks it just crashes and i cant get in windows now
could this be a void of warranty?

Some OEMS could be a huge stickler on it, but just clean it with some rubbing alcohol. No visiable damage was caused by it so there is no way for them to claim it got burnt or traces damaged at that spot.
In regards to your PC:
The problem is that a bad driver was loaded. Either you loaded the wrong driver, or the download was corrupted, or the driver has bugs.
Regardless you need to boot into safe mode by holding F8 at boot and then selecting safe mode with networking.
If you can get in then all you need to do is reinstall drivers. The most common culprit is GPU drivers so download the second newest version and try that.

Thanks for the info, i'm 100% sure i downloaded the right drivers so i don't think that would of been the problem. i've even downloaded them on my phone for the maximus viii hero cause i dont have a dvd reader in my case hehe. i can't get into windows anymore so i'm out of luck. even when i install windows it just gives me bsod's
Hope they will give me another motherboard tomorrow, i've bought it 2 days ago.

In that case it is most likely that is a memory issue.
From another computer download a program called memtest. You will have to use an actual cd burning program (there is a free version of ashampoo burning studio) to burn it as a bootable iso. Then you can test your memory for issues. You may have just gotten some dud memory chips.
You could try installing with only 1 chip in the computer or try installing without the GPU (or any other pci-e addon cards) as well.
