It appears that your Laptop's GPU might be plagued by some hardware and/or software issue. Post a GPU-Z screenshot as well. Have you installed the latest VGA drivers, software, and the firmware for your Laptop, from Razer Blade's/OEM website ? When did the problem start to occur, and how ? There are quite a few reasons for this.

The above Error code 43 can be reported anytime when Windows does not recognize a device – whether it's a USB port, Hard drive, video card/GPU, or any other piece of hardware connected to the computer. Most of the time, error code 43 means that a device driver is either missing, corrupt, and/or outdated (so Windows has problems communicating properly with the hardware), or the hardware is faulty and needs to be replaced.

This error code points out that the Hardware might also be defective, which is the GPU. Do you still get the same problem when you boot the OS in Safe Mode? Your GPU might also be faulty. Also, are you on a FRESH Windows OS install ? If not, then try doing a clean format if need be. Clear and reset all the CMOS/BIOS settings to default.

Error code 43 is a generic message that typically indicates a problem with the hardware or software in Windows operating system. This error is often reported in Windows Device Manager. If you encounter this error with your graphics card, here are some troubleshooting ideas that may help fix it.

1) Update your graphics card driver. Do aclean re-install by using the DDU tool. https://www.wagnardsoft.com/, or via Windows control panel since you have a Laptop GPU. Then install and update from Razer Blade's website.

2) Make sure your system is updated with the latest BIOS and Windows updates

Code 43 can mostly happen either if drivers fail or the hardware fails.
