I recently got my brand new esp Ltd m-100fm and on the 14 fret only the d and the g string will buzz so bad and its getting really annoying but I'm thinking it's a uneven fret???

Sounds like a likely culprit.  If you don't feel comfortable re-seating it, or releveling it, take it to a luthier to have it gone over.

did you buy it at a store or over the internet?  - If it was a store, I would take it back and insist they adjust it.

could also be a bridge thats to low - raise the bridge

or the neck is to flat - loosen the truss rod.  

unlevel frets could also be the problem.

Do you have a straight edge? I bought a metal 1 meter straight edge just for necks. They are really cheap and a big help for fret questions and to check fretboard vs bridge height. Simple, cheap, and works. Or you could buy luthier specific tools, but they usually aren't cheap.

If store bought yeah bring it in and ask them to set it up for you  they'll adjust the trust rod and make sure everything is in order

Yeah. Safe bet is uneven fret or a low bridge saddle.
