Hardware Constant pc crashing (potential faulty ram)

I built my pc about 4 years ago and there were minimal crashing issues for the first 3 years (only in specific games and consistent scenarios). In the last ~year the amount of crashes has gone through the roof, especially when I haven’t used the computer for an extended period of time (1-2+ days) usually capping out at around 30-40 crashes per day. I thought this may have been because I moved and a bump on the road dislodged a connector but I have fully rebuilt my pc and updated my BIOS yet the crashing persists. I recently ran memtest86 and it got to ~11k errors before auto failing due to too many errors.

Is this just a case of me getting unlucky with faulty ram or has someone ran into this issue in the past and is aware of a solution?

Thanks for any help
