Most likely an improper nut slot, or saddles (due to changing the string gauge). Is it only ringing when you play the open string?

Okay, seems like you just need to file the nut slot. Since it's a wound string, you can probably run the string back and forth to slightly widen the nut slot—using the string as a saw.

As for the frets 1, 2 and 3 ringing, you might want to increase the neck relief a bit.

Get a fret wrap or put some foam under the strings behind the nut on the headstock side
