The real reason why the ice cube made the water stop boiling:
Heat flows from hot areas to cold, not the other way. According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, heat coming from the burner will always flow to the coldest object in the pot - in this case, the ice. So the head from the burner stops making the hot water boil and starts making the solid water (ice) melt.
