Hello again, Luvz2edge!
I really thought about your problem, and the more I think about it, the more I think you have a codec-problem.
The problem cannot be your computer, I made DVD-rips back in the days with a computer which had Windows 98 on it, CPU with 0,4 GHZ (every smartphone is much faster than that) and RAM, ... not sure, very low even, ... so your computer is a rocket compared to the paperplane I got back then, ... and still I got absolutly-non-stuttering videos rendered on it (it just took much more time to render a video than with a modern and faster computer).

Please take some time and think about it:
- Did you uninstalled your K-Lite Codec Pack first before you installed the new codecs?
- What codecs exactly do you have installed when you say 'I installed a whole new pack of codecs'?
- What K-Lite Codec Pack you did have installed, on the homepage of it you'll find different versions (Basic, Standard, Full, Mega, Update and Beta)

Gerneral hints:
- Installing more than one codec-pack can lead to problems. (Even if you want to install a second one AND deinstall the first one first, there could be leftovers from the first installed codec-pack, which could lead to problems as well).
- Please check if the source video-material has AC3-sound (just a blind-shot in guessing what the problem could be)
One last thing:
Would you be able to, or would you be open to the idea to install a whole fresh Windows on your PC, then installing
the 'Mega'-Version K-Lite (and only that) and then the software you are using?
... would that be an option for you?

That is like half-baked-bread.
You can eat it, you maybe don't spit it out after a while, you might get sated from it, but it is nothing compared to a very good baked bread.
I see it a bit like that: we have here a very talented baker (of chc-videos -> Luvz2edge), but his oven is broken, so his great recipes (ideas) for some really amazing breads (chs's) are ending up in burnt- or half-baken- bread, ... this is, in my opinion at least, very sad.
Best greetings,
