try to subdue all the surrounding matter with the advanced physics. I would try to build some nano assemblers inside the processor for this goal

Does x86 have an opcode for that?

Does it have an opcode for overheat?

It doesn't. But writing/erasing 0xFFFFFFFF will heat the processor more than do the same with 1.

Every computation is a physical process.

True, but presumably, computer processors are designed to continue working in exactly the same way no matter what data they process.

Designed to, yes. Likely to be bug-free, no.

Chances are very good there are no bugs allowing for the creation of nanobots, I'll admit.
