Read the HiTechGlobal literature, eg., they should have a handbook or user manual for your board, that documentation should have the FPGA part number. Use that part number to locate the IDCODE in the Stratix V Handbook.

Then use the Quartus JTAG debugger to read the IDCODE.

Are you connecting to the board with a USB-Blaster or does it have an on-board USB-Blaster? If you are using an external USB-Blaster, try using another one, perhaps you are having JTAG signal integrity issues.
