If ASIO4All hasn't helped get your task manager up and look at the CPU usage when it stutters by clicking on CPU at the top to bring the highest usage app to the top. See if anything else is using the CPU also.
Concentrate on the CPU. 634 is not enough (see Bob’s comments). If another of the same model scores higher, either this one is defective, or it’s throttled. To fix that, go into the Windows Control Panel and make sure the Power Settings are all set to the max (100%).

My guess is that, with a discharged battery, Windows went into power-saving mode and throttled back your CPU speed. Once fully charged, you are back to normal. You could set that to not do the throttling as I mentioned, but then your laptop battery would run down more quickly. This is a choice you have to make (or run the laptop plugged in when doing music).
However - that Geekbench score is the bare minimum to run BIAB. Use as few RealTracks as possible, and follow my recommendations above about Options, Preferences, RealTracks. Let us know how it works.

Thanks. As a former comp. sci. prof, I love doing this stuff.
Your RAM is fine. Your soundcard rate: RealTek is about the worst soundcard out there, and is typical in these basic laptops. ASIO4ALL was suggested; it might give you an improvement and is worth a try. You could do even better with an external USB soundcard, even say a basic Focusrate 2i2 or 2i4. You could then run at the correct sample rate. However, I don't think the sample rate has anything to do with your immediate problem; that's plain old CPU horsepower and we've given you a few suggestions to deal with it. All these other things are minor in comparison.

Seeing it's a system-wide application, it could cause issues.
A couple of ways to find out, that I can think of, would be...
1. Open task manager and see what's running and what is using resources when the stuttering happens (I think this has already been suggested - I haven't read back up the thread to double-check, though).
2. The program looks to be opensource software. If that's the case, it costs nothing to install/uninstall it...
Why not uninstall it run your system without it for a while.... then re-install it in a few days and see what happens.
BUT, strange thing just happened. I had my earphones plugged into the jack..When the stuttering started,I pulled it out of the socket and back in again, stuttering stopped, and playback continued as normal!

The sound sub-system of the O/S has the ability to detect connection / disconnection of audio devices (microphones, speakers etc). This 'might' have been enough to create an interrupt to the audio functionality to appear that it has been resolved (corrected itself).
The graph created in Process Explorer shows what used max CPU cycles and Memory during the monitored period. Perhaps this might help.

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
