    What are your specs, esp the video card? That specific set has a ton of instances, which may cause the Iray renderer to complain if the Instancing Optimization setting (Render Settings tab - Optimization) isn't set correctly.

    only happens with scenes that have sky dome

    Skydmes should not geenrally be used in iray, at least not with HDRI lighting or distant lights, as they blcok the external light making the scene dark.

    If you are rendering in Iray, then the skydome must be part of an Iray set. A 3Delight skydome won't work unless you apply an emissive Iray mat to it.

    Check the log when you get a black render and see what it states.

    The Iray setup has its own Dome/Sky settings. Can use any hdr for both light and/or backgrounds.

    Use the image from the Skydome in the Iray Environment Dome/ Environment Map and then go to the scene tab and delete the skydome.

    It has both Iray and 3Delight versions - I'm pretty sure the dome is in the 3Delight version.

    I just had this issue last night on an older Stonemason set. Took me a couple of minutes of looking around at my environment settings, etc. before it dawned on me to check to see if there was a skydome. Sure enough, once I deleted the inverted salad bowl (that's how I picture it), my HDRI was working as desired. :) It's easy to overlook, even for those of us who should know better!

    Or you can make the skydome emissive:
