before u install ur new strings, what gauge u r using on ur old one?
and what gauge is the new one?
if u move to a bigger gauge u may find a fret buzz

try to set ur bridge higher 1st..
if it still buzz try to loosen ur truss rod (turn it CCW) but please do not turn it more than 1/8 turn without checking it 1st (u need to loosen ur "G" and "D" strings first then u can slack it from the nut and u can insert ur allen wrench)

or u can follow the link the imsomniac gave u..

if u dont want any risk, try buying a smaller gauge and string it. if the frets dont buzz then its may have been the actually gauge you should be using. if you insist on the string gauge u just bought then, u can send the guitar for a setup(truss rod, bridge height etc etc).
