IE8 CSS Issues - White Background

There seems to be an issue with IE8 (specifically IE 8.0.6001.18702), where the background is completely white.I have viewed the other reports on here via search but none of them have fixed the issue.I was able to fix the problem by temporarily commenting out the following css files.

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/modules/node/node.css?U" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/modules/system/defaults.css?U" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/modules/system/system.css?U" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/modules/system/system-menus.css?U" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/modules/user/user.css?U" />

other info:
The garland theme seems to display properly so could the theme (colourise) being conflicting with the above files maybe......

Not sure what the problem could be but you have to comment out all files else the problem still exists.
