I was getting the black screen and reset after attempting to collect the stone so I stopped trying.
The first two attempts at accepting Lovis's lost soul quest failed due to the game crashing but I was able to get by the problem by letting the console cool down for a couple of hours.
I was able to get the ring from Stone last night after resetting to a much older save and just continued from there I'm now a Level 31 with most of my skills maxed out at five some of them have had their level caps increased by using my trainer.
I'm thinking about waiting to re-try the Hall of Souls until I hit level forty at least.
Last night while I was at Stones flying fortress taking out the anti-dragon defenses the game actually attempted to crash I kept getting severe frame rate lag my dragon would literally be paused mid air without my having paused the game and the only way out of it was to hit the dashboard button on the controller to kind of give the game a kick in the behind and it would then load a little more and pause again so I had to force my way to the ground and save.
After that letting the console cool off for an hour seemed to solve the problem.
I think the game has too much going on when in an intense action sequence and the processor in the console just can't load it all.
