Neither 7.4 nor 7.6 are supported. Run yum update to get to the latest point release, 7.9.2009, plus all more recent fixes.
CentOS 7.4 is 4 whole years out of date, 7.6 is "only" 3 years out of date.
There are more than 12,500 lines in the kernel rpm changelog since the 7.6 kernel 3.10.0.-957 and there are more than 36,000 changes since the 7.4 kernel. Many of those fix important and critical CVEs that you need to put on to keep your systems secure. There are 790 mentions of the string "CVE" in those 36,000 entries and 363 in the one for thse 7.6 kernel. Those are documented, known exploits that are on your system now and need to be fixed. And that doesn't include the possibility that your problem is one of the other 34,999 items on the list.
