My MacBook pro 2012 has gotten slower and whenever i try to open more than one application at a time it starts beach balling and freezes, and then it restarts and the cycle repeats.
I have also done an EtreCheck test and down below is the report, please help if you can find any software or file that is causing the problem.

Nothing jumps out of the etrecheck report—
other than this looks to be the OEM mechanical harddrive (HD) from 2012...
4 GB of RAM
Both are user upgrade-able
All HD fail in due time, you can expect to get 3 to 5 years of use— your HD is 9 years old !
If you have an external bootclone, A definitive test—you can boot from it externally, bypassingg both internal HD and SATA cable—if it runs trouble free as you expect, than I would expect the HD starting to fail.
If you replace the drive, it is recommended to change the SATA cable at the same time while you have it opened up.

your battery is probably on its last legs wit a 1000 expected cycle count
< Battery: Health = Normal - Cycle count = 987>
Thanks for the reply!!! I myself have been thinking of replacing the hd and upgrading RAM, but till then is there anyway I can do something to use it. Because recently, as soon as i turn on the mac it freezes and restarts and since then it has been trapped in that cycle.
Macbook is slowing down and beachballing...
