As seems to often happens, you have provided almost zero information that would be usefull in solving your issue. However, based on the limited amount of information provided it is likely one of 3 issues (or a combination of these).

1. Sample to concentrated (10000 ppm??)
2. Sample Diluent to strong (100% methanol)
3. Injection volume too large

Of course it could also be one of 10 (or more) other common problems that cause pook peak shape.
