Full crashes like this tend to be from two sources: too much heat and a junk or dying PSU. First see what your temperatures are. If there's no problem (use AMD Overdrive to see the thermal margin, you want it to be as much above 0 as possible), then I'd suspect the PSU. The VS series isn't on the same junk tier as the very low-end, but it uses much lower quality components than quality PSUs with shorter lifespans and it could be failing.

Your PSU is bad. It is most propably the reason of the reboots.

As you can see it falls under tier 4 which is second worst. You should consider buying another PSU of at least tier 2 and I highly recommend any Seasonic.
This should be excellent choice:

I would also like to mention that this used to happen with me on my old HD 7770, 2 hrs of gaming and it restarts, reduced to 30m and eventually died, no regrets. But I don't wanna lose this new one now, I can visit the shop in a week since I am at a new place faraway from the tech shop. Till then, should I take any precautions to keep the GPU safe?
P.S. I played TF2 and CS:GO for 30m approx

I used HWmonitor, here are the recorded temps:
CPU: 35°C
GPU: 47°C
MOBO: 43°C
