Did you verify the install before attempting to boot? I did the same from my Linux Mint box and it did not format it properly the first time. You have to verify the install per the Raspberry OS install instructions before attempting to boot with it.

Once verified, make sure you insert the card while the power is disconnected from your Pi. Also make sure you have your HDMI, keyboard, and mouse plugged in BEFORE connecting the power the first time you boot. Also, if you plug the power in before the HDMI the Pi 3 will boot to a headless state, plugging in a monitor after this will not work. You will have to unplug the power and plug it back in with the HDMI left plugged in.
