What's the exact error message? Is it:
--- Quote Start --- Error: Can't recognize silicon ID for device 1 --- Quote End --- This normally indicates a hardware problem of the programming adapter or the configuration device. Revision 01 UP3 has an EPCS1 in a DIL socket. Is it mounted correctly at all? - Altera_Forum

yes, it is showing Error: Can't recognize silicon ID for device 1
i can find u15(epcs1) on my bottom board! but while in AS mode, the .pof was automatically set to epcs4... if change device to epsc1, the new .pof will be unknown, then will not be able to download! - Altera_Forum

The two problems are unrelated, I think. EPCS1 has to be selected in Quartus device options to generate the right *.pof file type. This must be done anyway.
"Can't recognize silicon ID" is another issue. As I said, I assume a hardware problem. With some boards, there may be special setup issues than can cause AS access failure, but I'm not aware with the UP3 board. - Altera_Forum
