I too had a completely stable Pi2 for months with sdram_freq=500, but recent firmware resulted in random crashes and freezes, which went away once I stopped overclocking sdram_freq.

You could possibly regain stability by bumping up the sdram voltage, but unlike the Pi1, the Pi2 benefits very little from overclocking sdram (mainly because the ARMv7 SoC has increased L2 cache) so ultimately the increased risk of instability is just not worth the hassle for the meagre improved performance (which you probably won't even notice).

Question:
So don't set sdram_freq at all? OR set it to sdram_freq=400? (at least I was under the impression 400 was the original Openlec default)

I'm running this now, seems to work pretty fine:
Code:
force_turbo=1      #used to push het gpu overclock
  initial_turbo=60 #old-line; used this before to help prevent sd corruption --Still not sure if it was useless because off the force_turbo=1
  arm_freq=1062
  core_freq=590
# sdram_freq=400
  over_voltage=4
  over_voltage_sdram_c=0
  over_voltage_sdram_i=0
  over_voltage_sdram_p=2
  avoid_pwm_pll=1
  v3d_freq=400
  h264_freq=400

disable_pvt=1      #Disable adjusting the refresh rate of RAM every 500 ms
