Sounds like a bad intonation problem. Assuming your bridge wasn't positioned incorrectly at the factory, you can correct this problem by adjusting the saddles on your guitar's tune-o-matic bridge. New strings will help some, as will using the correct gauge strings your guitar was originally set up for.
If you are unsure about all this, take it to a guitar dealer or repair person and have them do a professional "set-up". This will cost you around $30 - $40 most places including new strings, and not only will they address any intonation issues, but can also adjust your neck and action (string height) to it's maximum potential.

Hmmm... in situations like these I usually make an offering of small children and goat semen to the Goddess Freya.
If that doesn't work then just buy a new guitar.
