I just installed an MSI X870 Tomahawk motherboard along with a 9800X3D processor. After putting everything together, I booted the system and saw the MSI logo, then it went into Windows installation. I installed Windows on my new M.2 drive, but upon restarting, it went back to the installation screen. I tried accessing the BIOS to select the drive I used for the installation, but it didn't show up. Now, the system stays on a black screen with 'no signal detected' on the monitor, even though the fans are running and the motherboard shows a code of 15.
I also want to add that Windows is now installed, but I'm having issues connecting to the internet. The motherboard shows code 48, but I'm not sure if that's relevant. Any help would be appreciated!

It sounds like the code 15 indicates that the BIOS is doing RAM training, which is normal on the first boot. Just give it some time to finish that setup. Once it's done, you might want to jump into the BIOS and enable Memory Context Restore and disable Fast Boot to help with the boot process.
I finally launched Windows, but now I'm stuck with no internet connection. I've got the antenna plugged in, but no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks for the info! It's been a while since I set up a motherboard, so I appreciate the reminder.
