All A/C systems have a relief valve that will vent the high pressure side to atmospere before part of the system explodes. Why it lifted could be a # of things:

Compressor clutch stuck engaged
Over-charging the system
Blockage in the system (most likely at the orifice tube)

Those are the 3 I can think of off the top of my head.
