That's the problem that every Floyd Rose user faces at the beginning !

It's not the way you strung your guitar , I guess you changed the string's gauge ... Probably your guitar came with a [0.009-0.042] set of strings , and you re-strung it with a .010's so the tension increased rasinig the bridge from it's normal position.

There are two solutions :

1) Get a [0.009-0.042] pack of strings.

2) Open the back cover on your guitar , you'll find the Floyd Rose bridge "Springs" clawed and screwed into the body with two big screws ... Usualy you'll find three springs , so you can add another one or two ... For a .010's I'd have 4 springs , for a .011's I'd like to have have 5 srpings .
Or you can tighten the screws holding the springs more into the body , till your bridge is in it's position (almost parallel to the guitar body).
