Since you didn't enter any details, your account is not in risk. Had you entered your credentials and logged in, things would have scaled across in a different way. But luckily that did not happen. This link in the image has the website myrippleaddress.com and here's what virustotal.com had to say on it.

I'd suggest you to install malwarebytes.

When I clicked on the link it brought me to a Bitcointalk.org login page and asked for my login, however I didnt put anything into it just pressed the backspace to go back to the normal forum. Would this save my info or could it still have been stolen?
If you didn't enter your password there then you should be fine.I tried to shutdown my computer and a weird program was still running that would stop it the shutdown process. Possible malware? If yes, can they still access files after a PC format?
It's not very likely anything got installed just from opening the page. Did you download anything? Did you do anything else at all?But that does look like malware if it stops the shutdown process. If you format the PC you will get rid of everything, but when you restore your files you may re-install whatever you have now.
Make sure to have a proper antivirus.

A few minutes ago I got sent the following message from AlexUAE777
Without thinking, I clicked on the link and it turns out the link is (check bottom left corner):
Clearly it is fake, and has been altered to look legitimate. I have since then changed my password, however can someone tell me if I am at risk of other data beeches or should I update passwords on everything or maybe even reset windows.
