mobo burning!?

I was taking pictures of my pc for my friend when i noticed these marks. Could the be scorch marks from burning or overheating. even though Ive never heard of such a thing this computer has given me so much headache i wont be surprised if they are scorch marks.

It doesn't look like burn marks to me. Just dust.
However, is that heatsink how upon the touch? As in you can't hold your finger on it for long?

That is a rather interesting problem.
I don't suppose you have a different motherboard, do you? Or have a different PC to test the videocard with?
