The issue is likely about the chipset not being properly supported and so you will have to wait and see if 6.10/7.4 helps. You may want to check the RH release notes for RHEL 6.10/7.4 and see if support for the processor is listed there.
While I can't assure you that upgrading to 7 will fix the problem, the likeliness that will work is at least 50% better being as 7 is based on a newer kernel.
