What of your Global Ambient colour and Exposure Control settings? (in the environment and effects window)

everything is boringly standard :/ ambient colour is black, not exposure control selected. when i disable GI it renders a normal image. as soon as GI is ticked it goes pink!

Problem solved, it was something to do with materials. I applied a neutral material to everything and it renders perfectly now :/ very strange indeed
