The compilation messages indicate that you don't have the license for the Nios CPU. This means Quartus generates a time limited .sof file for evaluation purposes. When you configure the FPGA you will see an OpenCore window saying you are in evaluation mode. Do not close this window or the Nios CPU will stop working and you can get this "non responding" error.
