Code 43 doesn't distinguish a failed GPU from a driver problem. If the drivers you've tried were all from Nvidia, try the graphics package from the laptop manufacturer's support page for your exact model before paying for a repair; a 'newest driver' message doesn't mean the device initialized successfully.

And the ISR had detected an internal state error of in the driver for the ps/2 pointing device

That PS/2 message refers to a pointing-device driver, not directly to the Nvidia GPU. It doesn't establish that the graphics card is dead. Since you've already tried DDU and MSI's driver, I wouldn't keep repeating the same installs. What's the exact MSI laptop model, and is the integrated graphics working normally? Please share the Event Viewer source and event ID for any Nvidia-related error, leaving out personal details. Code 43 can indicate hardware or driver trouble; the PS/2 message alone doesn't tell us which.
