Is this a CPU slot burn?

[lucilleaosorio]

My PC is not booting even though the fans are working. I've only done visual inspection and I found this odd spots on the CPU slot. Could this be a burn?
I tried wiping it off and it still remained.

It looks like the plastic is slightly burned. That may have been caused by a short or by a very hot CPU

If it's a short could that mean my CPU is fried as well?
