Shut down - reboot. if problem persists, uninstall browser causing problem and do a fresh re-install.

Also try alternative browser to see if problem exists.
* If it does, its either graphic drivers faulty or internal card failing.
* If it does not, it further indicates a particular software problem.

(Above, short version)

A nicer way of asking "have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Hit it with a hammer.

If that doesn't work, set fire to it.

I could've sworn the font colour is now a sort of dark grey, whereas before it was a very very very very dark grey.

That's a bit extreme, it may be just a problem with the graphics card. Cleaning it with soapy water should fix the problem. Make sure your on boards then wipe down the card and see if it wipes the problem away on screen.

Was definitely a boards issue though. Everything outside of the actual browser window was fine. Everything inside looked like some kinda mad 3d blur of green and red

Reboot computer, press F8 during startup and start with command prompt.

Type format c:

Press return and say yes to any questions asked!

Should sort it.

Software problem.
Something probably to do with your browser having driver difficulties in conjunction with the incoming webpage coding.

Most computers use F12 to get to the boot menu, no?

Na, latest Chrome on Windows 7, doubt it's that.

Ah well, probably just some kind of Mushroom related mental flashback. Thanks for your help everyone

You've just experienced boards 3D, put on your 3D glasses for some After-Hours-in-your-face action.
