Hi,

the reason could be that your DVB card is not able to supply current 
peak when motor start at 18V and the current fuse was activated. You 
could try to start motor move at 13V and after some delay (in range of 
500ms) switch to 18V if you wish to motor move at higher speed.

This is feature of some DVB cards, some other types doesn't have current 
fuse but current limiter (my old TeVii S470) and some are able to 
deliver current peak to start motor quickly, but such devices are mostly 
powered by external supply (NessieDVB).
