MacBook crashing more and more often since 1-3 years

Hi there. I am using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15", Early 2013) and did use it years for daily learning and later work. In the last few years I stopped using it most days as my office has quite good options to work on.

My new job however uses only cheap windows laptops, so I would prefer to use my MacBook again. Here is the problem: Since about three years it will crush on occasions. I did not really care about it, as it happened not really often and I was not using it anyway. Now working with all was fine at the beginning. But after two weeks it started to crash maybe once a week, now after around one months it has gone up to 3-4 times a day.

I gathered some crash reports over the last months/weeks

I did change the battery and removed some dust a few months ago, however the crashing happened before and after that, so I guess it is not connected.

Crash reports attached. Maybe someone has an idea?

Looks like a GPU issue—
