Not entirely sure what caused all of the overheating.

I would guess that your clutch drum bearing failed, if it wasn’t lack of bar oil to the chain. If you run your chain to loose it’s easy to pack off the port on the bar that allows the oil to enter. If the saw starts and runs good the crankshaft bearings should be good to. There isn’t to many possibilities to cause that amount of heat in that short of a time period IMO
Did you get a chance to look at the bearing before you took your saw to the dealership?
