Did you do this yourself using one of those charge it yourself cans from the local parts store?

Take it to a qualified mechanic and have it checked over, evacuated and properly recharged. Charging by using 2 gauges has never been the proper method and charging using only a cheap gauge is not a good idea. To do it properly the system needs to be evacuated and the refrigerant needs to be somewhat precisely weighed or metered into the system.
