Color issues in Photoshop CS6

A few days ago my Photoshop installation began muting all of the colors. Nothing I've found has been able to change it. Color Settings are set to North America General Purpose 2, I even tried deleting Photoshop's preferences file and letting it recreate it to return everything to default, no change. Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about http://i.imgur.com/EpFgI.png

On the right is a website pulled up within Chrome. On the left is a screenshot taken (via Print Screen) of that exact same web page and then pasted into a default web RGB settings file. It's easy to tell the difference when you look at the blues. This is happening to everything I load in photoshop, color profiles or settings don't make any difference, and no other applications have this problem (including other Adobe applications). Any ideas?

If it matters, I'm running Windows 8 with 2x AMD 6950's in Crossfire.

    Sounds like your display profile got changed - you need to fix that in the OS settings.

    Thanks, I found where my color settings were and there is a profile in it for my Dell U2410, but I cannot change or remove it. Coincidentally, I just happened to get a Spyder 4 Pro for Christmas. I'll be giving that a shot in the next couple of days, maybe it'll fix the problem with new color profiles. If not, I'll report back on here

    Try disabling one of the video cards.  PS prefers one and you gain little if anything with 2.  Since they are both the same card it  is less of a conflict however.
