Problem with "system ID" and "Timestamp" when debugging/running the system

I am using Quartus II/Nois II IDE v9.0 and I got this message when debugging or running my software on board: 

 

Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 

Pausing target processor: OK 

Reading System ID at address 0x00142488:  

ID value does not match: read 0x00204009; expected 0x20440F8F 

Timestamp value does not match: image on board is newer than expected 

Read timestamp 5:14:07 2038/01/19; expected 1:57:52 2009/09/15 

The software you are downloading may not run on the system which is currently 

configured into the device. Please download the correct SOF or recompile. 

 

I made sure that the downloaded .SOF file is correct and compatible with the .PTF included in Nios II IDE.

Make sure you don't have in you project directory another .sof file named XXXX_time_limited.sof, if you have one try loading it in the fpga.

I make sure that I downloaded the ****_time_limited.sof file, but it has nothing to do with the problem!

This may be the same problem that I'm having:

In general, this is a problem you see when you load the wrong .sof file, as memes pointed out. However, I'm certain I'm loading the correct one, and it works just fine on an older version of Nios (6.0), but with V9.0, it does not.

Are you using Nios II Flash Programmer? I think you can uncheck the option at the bottom "Verify SOPC Before Downloading" or something like that and it'll let you flash your code, and it'll work.

I am afraid that this problem appeared only with certain projects, and I could run several projects without facing this issue. 

I am using the Quartus II programmer not the flash programmer.

Have all of your projects been compiled using the same version (Quartus 9.0)?
