One way to start would be to put in signaltap and look at all of your clock networks and reset trees. If one of your clocks doesn't pop up or one of your resets doesn't release, your whole system may be stuck in reset. From personal experience this is what causes my systems to not respond.

It is also good practice to put in a sys id block. In your current case it won't matter because it never gets to the point where it checks it, but once you do get your problems figured out it will help.
