I am in that group. Can't boot while overclocked on one of my RPi2 units. The other RPi2 boots fine overclocked. Odd.

I have (2) Rpi2, one works the other fails to boot with overclock enabled. Works with overclock disabled.
Kernel Panic with overclock
Worked fine on ~#726
Too high an overclock causing random crashes isn't necessarily a software problem. If you can provide stronger evidence,
e.g. exact build that starts failing, and state that previous build booted and ran ten times in a row and failing build fails to boot ten times in a row,
then I can check if there was something in that build that may have caused it and we can see if others see a similar effect.

I've had a closer look at the last turbo mode change and have spotted something suspicious, so I've pushed a fix for that.
It is possible that could fix some overclock related crashes.
Will test with today's build to see if the problem is resolved, if it still crashes, I will go backwards to identify the last build that boots as expected.
With the latest build the image is frozen on RP2. I tried it with and without overclocking. Back to #0725.
I have these image freezing problems with all the newer builds.

use mmal advanced and Sync playback to display ( pll ). ( problem occurs also with bob and and without Sync playback to display, but not so often )

Start it, go to systeminfo ( video playing in background ), video will always stop after about 1,5 minutes ( but not the same second exactly )
Then stop after video hang. GUI will freeze, but not everytime.
I think this are two problems. The dvd problem provokes the gui freeze, but not always.
But i don't know if it is the same gui freeze, that is caused at the other people.
Edit: With bob it sometimes only stutters shortly, sometimes video stops.
With deinterlace disabled. no stutter, no hang.
Without overclock i have the same problem. GUI still sometimes freezes when the video hangs.
@
popcornmix could you please try this case ? Its the last bug i personally have with test firmware and current versions.
This also happens sometimes on all other dvds, when navigating through menu and video playing in background, not only the 10% that need the test kernel !
Would be great to have a 100% working Version ;-)

More details please. Was #0725 the first build with the problem?
Does it affect omxplayer/dvdplayer?
Does it occur with sync plackback to display on/off.
Does it apply to all files? What is container/codec of a problematic file?
debug log (wiki)?

Great. That's one of the unexplained issues crossed off.
Playback problem of x265/HEVC is definitely subtitle related. With build #0802 and NO external subtitle file at all, it could play x265/HEVC flawlessly till end of the episode. I did test it with 3 x265/HEVC TV episodes, all over 40 minutes long. I haven't roll back and check which build is good and which is bad for x265/HEVC videos without any subtitles. I use mainly external subtitle files in .srt format, and in some cases in .ass format, all UTF-8 encoded character set. Some of the x265/HEVC videos caming with embedded subtitle in the mkv file.
I didn't overclock the RPi2 and had OMXPlayer turned off.
Hope the above could help. BTW, the new splash/logo is really cool!

What do you have gpu_mem set to? Does increasing it help?

Looks like I spoke too soon. It did not survive a 2nd, 3rd, 4th reboot. Hung each time just displaying the build number.
Disabling overclock booted/rebooted consistently.

gpu_mem set to 256MB, What value should I use? Please note I didn't change my config file, I simply used the OpenELEC RPi Config add-on to change the setting.

Try 512 just to be sure. Unlikely to actually need that much, but if the problem still exists then we know it's not gpu_mem related.
Maybe it helps with what I have in my config running the latest built without problems:
arm_freq=1062
core_freq=590
over_voltage=4
gpu_mem=320
gpu_freq=400
hdmi_pixel_encoding=2
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
dtoverlay=sdhost,overclock_50=100
over_voltage_sdram_c=0
over_voltage_sdram_i=0
over_voltage_sdram_p=2
avoid_pwm_pll=1
v3d_freq=300
force_turbo=1
